Pro-Tip: Go to the gym in the morning before the rest of the world is awake.
Hi, interwebs. I know this is a late night blog but I’ve been going through it. Lots of adult things, lots of anxiety, lots of sleeping in. I didn’t get up and go to the gym this morning, but working out keeps my brain from freaking tf out so I went after work today. What I’m trying to say is…
Go to the gym in the morning.
Listen, I know it’s not fun to get up at 6am and to go out in the cold and kick your own butt. But you know what’s even less fun?
- Waiting for equipment.
- Trying not to make eye-contact with a group of 14 year old boys playing on the machines who are staring you down relentlessly
- Asking “Are you using that kettlebell?” even though you know that woman is not using that kettlebell because she’s been taking selfies and sitting on her phone for the past 15 minutes while standing in front of the kettlebell rack.
Maybe this doesn’t sound that abnormal to you after-work gym rats, but now let me describe my gym at 7am when all the rational people are still asleep:
- Only 4 other beings in the entire building
- Pool still locked so no rampant children
- Everyone still super sleepy or hyper zoned-in because of pre-workout, so no one wants to hold a full conversation
Going to bed an hour earlier is a small price to pay for an empty gym, in my humble opinion. Try it out, y’all.
Okay, that’s it. Just needed to vent about my first world problems.
Look at this. You know if I choose the gym over cuddling with these babies at 7am that it must be worth it.
