We all have a few of those friends who publicize their every workout. Thanks to social media, we often get a front row seat to their daily calorie burn. Our personal favorite is the “gym selfie.” They look good online and even better when you get to see the action in person! We all know what you’re thinking as you witness this embarrassing act and lucky for us, there are people who tweet those thoughts for the whole world to read.
Whether you’re a gym-rat like us or just like to poke fun at them, you’ll appreciate what’s in store for you here. We gathered up our ten favorite tweets from the gym to put a smile on your face and some pep to your step today!
- @BillMurray – “Unless you tripped and smacked your face on the treadmill, no one wants to hear about your workout.”
It’s true, I guarantee you’d get a lot more “likes” for posting a story about a near-concussion than you will for posting how many calories you burned.
- @Heart_LessGirl – “Saw some idiot at the gym that put a water bottle where the Pringles can is supposed to go on the treadmill “
- @KenJennings – “I’m going to start exercising again. For the health benefits, sure, but also for the smugness.”
- @RobinMcCauley asked the question:
“Do people who say, “Exercise helps me relax” know about not exercising?”
- Robin also shared her hopes of finding someone who will loathe cute-joggers with her.
“Saw a couple holding hands while jogging and it made me hopeful that one day I will meet someone who will hate them with me.”
- @Schindizzle voices the paradoxical struggle that it takes to be in good shape,
“I’m jealous of skinny people… except for when they’re exercising or eating vegetables.”
- @ConorTripler “some ppl just walk out their door and run. like not 2 arbys or anything just like they go for a run. wtf”
- @JonasPolsky
“You burn 77 calories per hour while sleeping. So I’m not “taking a nap”, okay? I’m exercising.”
- If you frequently run on the treadmill, then you can probably relate to @WallisAnnabelle when she said,
“Dear Man, Do not Fart on the treadmill next to me!! DO NOT DO THAT!!!!! NO NO NO!!!!!!”
- @RexHuppke – “My phone keeps autocorrecting “exercise” to “dreadful idea.”
