Share your πŸ™Œ best excuses for not going to exercise.

by
It's tough getting your head out of your overflowing to-do list, plus it seems like a waste to take time out of your precious work day to exercise! Please share the (mental gymnastics) excuses that your brain comes up with to excuse you from interrupting your work day. Funny, strange, and awesome excuses are appreciated!

I just get up early and exercise, it feels better than making excuses not to.
Paul Michaels
@dstirk Oh boy! I have even more excuses for not getting up early πŸŒ„.

For every excuse know there is up to one tree that can be preserved if you decide not to use it :)

Ahhh - launching on Product Hunt! We're live today and I haven't moved for the last 15 hours πŸ˜…
Paul Michaels
@liz_obee πŸ€”That is one excuse that gets a pass in this community.

@paul_d_michaels2 Haha, very true!

"I'm too sore to workout" "I ate a large meal too recently"
Paul Michaels
@philipsnyder πŸ…Those are pretty convincing ones!

@oscar_wehbe 🀣 Depending on where you live, that could add up to a lot of time!

I'm generally pretty good at sticking to my plans re: exercise & movement but I'm only human so, of course, there are times I come up with excuses.... generally things like: - I'm in the flow on this project, it'll be better to just stay focused - working through and being prepped for my upcoming meetings is more important - I'll just go tomorrow instead and make up for it then. - I need a rest day anyway.
Paul Michaels
@jade_mack Yeah, it's easy to fall into the "usual" excuses trap. πŸ™„ Guilty as charged!

I try to every chance I get. Walking is the best if you are limited of time and equipment
Paul Michaels
@sharon_paunan Agreed. Walking is also great as a larger exercise strategy too.
