It seems like working out is always a bargain between sweating and sleeping. Maybe you had a plan to go to the gym in the morning. Maybe you were going to wake up at 7 to get some good gym time in before you have to go to work. 7 rolls around, and suddenly you feel like your body is telling you it needs to sleep. So at that moment, you have to decide which is more important. I know which one I usually choose. 

It's tricky because sleep is essential, vital even, to health. If you're not getting enough sleep, then good luck with everything else. It's the foundation of our existence as humans and when we mess with it everything else falls apart. But having a good relationship with exercise is also key to maintaining good health. So in those moments, that choice feels almost impossible. This is where the memes come in.

Sometimes it looks like scrolling memes. And while others might not know you're getting motivated to get your pump on, we will know. Because we provided the memes.
