Happy Saturday, gym attendees of all types! Whether you casually partake in exercise or live for the workout life, we've got the memes for you! Let's talk a little bit about the exercise lifestyle. I would call myself a casual gymgoer. I aim to go two or three times a week, but that usually ends up being closer to not at all. I'm not devoted, but boy do I admire the people that do. Friends of mine who are pictures of fitness fill with me jealousy, but also pride for their ability. It takes a lo…

So much product placement

Fearing the dentist is a strange, but reasonable fear. Most people don't fear a check-up from a general care practitioner , so why is the dental check-up so fearsome? It really comes down to the fact that if you've let your teeth go, there's a pretty good chance that the dentist will want to put a drill inside your mouth. Obviously, they want to help you, but the idea of the equipment literally digging into your exposed bone gets a little scary. I find it best to just take good care of your tee…

Welcome back, gym attendees and exercise aficionados ! We're back, once again, this week with a grab bag of random relatable workout memes! Heading to the gym might feel like an uphill battle sometimes. Maybe you've had a long day and just want to head home for a little rest and relaxation. Maybe you're hesitant to start your day with a hearty workout due to effort. If you don't want to make the decision to get a workout in, that's totally understandable! We all have busy lives and getting a th…

Being a vegetarian isn't easy. You must make appropriate changes to your everyday consumption with any dietary restrictions. In the case of vegetarianism , it means no meat. That's stating the obvious, but until you've stepped into the shoes of a vegetarian, it's difficult to fully realize how limiting that can be. Meat is the norm in so many cultures. With American food, it's near impossible to avoid. Imagine going to a restaurant, perusing the wide variety of the menu, and then realizing you'…

Anyone who's urgently ordered an Uber while they're going into anaphylactic shock can attest that it's not an ideal situation to have to call an ambulance. For some, the ambulance is just too dang expensive and I certainly can't blame them! Unless you're hopping in an emergency vehicle that's covered by your insurance, it's possible that you'd be better off calling a Lyft.

Have you ever gone to the gym and found yourself frustrated that there are so many people using the machines and equipment? A line for the dumbbells? That's ridiculous! Sure, those sorts of occurrences are annoying, but have you ever thought that the world doesn't revolve around you? Everybody else is there for the same reason as you, to get a little workout in . If you have a problem with that, maybe plan to work out at a less busy time or develop a little bit of patience. It might not be the…

we all want the princess treatment...

At this point, we should be able to accept that therapy is a net positive for humanity. While it's not necessary for everyone, it's an incredible resource for many individuals. I've seen a lot of people decry it as some sort of scam for weak-minded people throughout my life. Sure, not every therapist is incredible. From my experience, it's actually pretty tough to find the right one. Once you do, it's an incredibly cathartic and building experience. It's not pseudo-science; nobody is rubbing es…

When you think about management, especially upper management, the words that come to mind don't tend to be, 'kind', 'warmhearted', 'generous', or 'wholesome'. But in this case, an employer proved that some bosses are more involved in their employees personal lives than you'd think, but in the best way. OP had a few health problems and had a surgery scheduled to treat them. Unfortunately, OP was then informed that the surgery cost way more than she'd initially expected… which made OP cancel it.…

It's difficult to imagine something more insidious, unreasonable, and unhelpful than American health insurance services. If you're an American, I don't need to remind you. For those of you who live anywhere else, it is so much worse than what you're assuming. In my experience, my first response to any illness or injury is to ignore it. That's an incredibly dystopian sentiment, but it's the unfortunate reality of this country. With all that said, don't expect any dealings with an insurance compa…

Though this guy claimed to know how to do his job, safety wasn't on his list of concerns. That alone should have told his boss that this dude wasn't a good fit for the role. U/rslashcallousheart had a story to share about the time they worked as a stage hand , setting up stages and equipment for music venues. It's quite the hands-on job, requiring the workers to move heavy equipment not just on the ground, but sometimes high off the ground. These things are so heavy that the workers are require…

There are rules at the gym , but you wouldn't know it by the way these people tried to work out. Let me tell you a story. The year was 2011, and a brand new Planet Fitness opened up in my area. It was so cheap back then that even as high schoolers, my friends and I could pay monthly to go work out . Gym class? Nah, we couldn't be bothered. We felt like we were adults, and we wanted to work out like them. It didn't matter that we didn't know how to use any of the machines; we'll figure it out as…

When was the last time you looked in a mirror? Are your eyes sunken? Is your skin blotchy? Have you had a vague headache all day? If you answered “yes” to any or all of these questions, it might be time for you to drink some more water . We need to appreciate water a little bit more. It carries the weight of the entire planet on its shoulders, but what thanks does it get? There are people out there who refuse it, opting instead for the additive embrace of Diet Coke. There’s nothing wrong with i…

Last week, I went to the gym for the first time in at least a year. Most likely longer than that. It felt incredible! The satisfaction that comes from committing oneself to a full, rigorous gym routine is unmatched. The next day, it felt terrible. It's easy to forget how hard muscle aches hit you after you get back to working out. I expected it, but I was definitely not ready for it. I've gone a few times since then. Now, I kind of think of it as positive pain. My muscles are doing their thing;…
