Here are only some of the struggles that we know all too well.<\/big>


1. The motivation seeking<\/b><\/big><\/big>



Yes, that! Where do people find the motivation to work out after a horrible day at the office or in the wee hours of the morning? I just want to crawl back into bed. Or eat cheese nachos. Or both. <\/big>



2. The Instagram fitness gurus <\/b><\/big><\/big>



So to get in the mood, you start following a bunch of accounts on Instagram and get mixed emotions leaning towards admiration and hate. Should I be loving my body or force-feeding it kale?!<\/big>



3. The new vocabulary <\/b><\/big><\/big>

TRX? Body pump? PT? Didn\u2019t know you signed up for the chamber of torture. <\/big>



4. The budget planning<\/b><\/big><\/big>

No one told you it would be so expensive! Between the gym membership, the personal trainer, and the workout outfits – where can you sell a kidney? <\/big>



5. The near-death experience<\/b><\/big><\/big>



Okay, so it\u2019s your first day hitting the gym. You\u2019re confident, take a look around you, and see other people exercising so effortlessly and gracefully. Wait until you do it. No pain no gain they say. Ha.<\/big>



6. The ugly marshmallow look<\/b><\/big><\/big>

Suddenly, amidst an atrocious workout, you spot yourself in the mirror and see what might look like a frazzled melting marshmallow. How in the world do the other girls still look sexy? <\/big>



7. The lost counts<\/b><\/big><\/big>



And you\u2019re so focused on others that you unintentionally lose count of how many squats you’ve done so far. That\u2019s when you decide you\u2019ve done enough.<\/big>



8. The painful post-workout<\/b><\/big><\/big>



Ah yes, forget about coughing, sneezing, or laughing for the next week if you chose to put yourself through the hell of an abs\/bum workout.<\/big>



9. The constant hunger<\/b><\/big><\/big>

And I do mean constant<\/i>. You come back home and this whole fitness routine has obviously made you hungry, but you have a strict diet to follow. So you end up standing in front of the fridge all night thinking about your cravings. <\/big>



10. The never-ending dilemma<\/b><\/big><\/big>

After your first session, you\u2019re genuinely conflicted when it comes to hitting the gym again or casually ignoring it and heading to happy hour instead. Yes, you deserve it – you did all those squats!<\/big>



11. The relationship test<\/b><\/big><\/big>



Trying to get fit also means testing your relationships. You expect compliments from your partner, encouragement from your friends who will join you on a few classes to prove their support, and empathy from your co-workers who wouldn\u2019t dare order lunch from that greasy shawarma place. <\/big>



12. Screw this shit! <\/b><\/big><\/big>



You\u2019re close to seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, you\u2019re running your heart out and finally you reach the closing line\u2026 congrats! You\u2019ve just arrived to your nearest McDonald\u2019s. How can we serve today?<\/big>
