Going to the gym is as much about your mental health as it is about your physical health. If you’re ever in a tough spot mentally, you know how a brisk walk around the neighborhood can shift your whole reality. You know that a grunt-filled heavy lifting session can at least temporarily cloud the horrors of the everyday. You know that a sweaty tennis match is as good at getting the ya-yas out as anything. But it’s all too easy to forget that when you’re down in the dumps.
When you’re sad, the last thing you want to do is put on a happy face, lace up your running shoes, and hit the track even if you know it might be the very thing that saves you. So on the days you need a little inspiration, let these memes be just that. They might be just the juice in your tank you need to get going.
