I’m around people that care about their health and fitness all the time. It’s no secret that these same people love to talk about their health and fitness nonstop. The good news is people tend to chat about how to make themselves and others better. I hear them talking about different stretches, great new recipes,

Life is tough! We get it so we figured we’d come up with some reasons for you to not go to the gym today.  1. Your bed is so comfy. 2. You forgot to pack your weightlifting shoes. 3. You got out of work 30 minutes late. 4. The Yankees are playing and they only have 160 games
