the downside of working out

I wrote this two days ago but for some reason didn't post so here we go:

You’re probably thinking ‘don’t be silly there is no downside’; well I suppose these are more like the first-world problems of working out:

1. Trying to go to the bathroom after what now feels like 1400 squats and ending up looking like a 95 year old in a nursing home trying to make it there yourself because your nurse is busy. At least wiping is still under your own pain-free power.

2. Trying to take off your sweat-soaked sports bra after doing so many pull ups you lost count rendering your arms useless. You start to wonder if it shrunk 3 sizes after working out because it feels like you’re trying to remove your skin but you’re really hoping that your muscles are just that much bigger.

3. Walking down a staircase after any lower body workout. It now seems as though your knees no longer bend and that you have a uni-bumcheek because your glutes are so tight. You may as well be in a pair of ski boots.

4. Washing/conditioning/blow drying your hair after a killer shoulder workout. You convince yourself that tomorrow is a hair-in-a-bun day and dry your hair just enough so that you don’t soak your pillow and freeze overnight.

Feel free to share your own first-world working out problems!

  1. It sounds like you need to get yourself a foam roller Jac! Also, I'm sure if you timed it right the sports bra removal could be taken care of by someone else.
