• We’ve all had those days when our workouts don’t go exactly as planned—days, even, when we think to ourselves, “Why do I put myself through this? Working out is the worst.” Lest you think you’re alone in these moments (you’re not—we’ve all had ’em), check out this post from Buzzfeed, which puts those bad workout days into crystal-clear perspective. For example, I’ve never actually flown off the back of a treadmill, thank you Jesus. Nor have I been folded in half by a Pilates reformer.
