January 2nd is probably the busiest day of the year at the gym. Everyone's just spent 3 months gorging themselves on holiday cookies, cocktails, and roast meats and we're all frankly ashamed of the beastly human we've become. With only a few short winter months left where oversized coats and full-length leg wear are required, the turn of the new year is when everyone starts feeling the burning shame of crop top season. 

It's time to work out. 

However, with each failed New Year's resolution and each expiring gym membership, looking cute in summer clothes is starting to be less and less attainable. So if you're someone who's struggling to stick with your new-found health goals, keep this mantra in mind. With every workout and each meal prep comes a delicious treat for you to eat. When you start thinking about your gym trips as transactional, then the price of working out doesn't seem so steep. 

For those of us who are rewarding our latest trip to the gym with a moment of laughter, here's some relatable workout memes for the regular guys just trying to get a little swoll for summer.
