Today, I decided to motivate myself to workout by looking at a picture of a guy with a six-pack on my computer screen while doing abs. My dad walked in after I finished and was still breathing heavily from working out. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, I was at the gym on the elliptical. Feeling proud of myself for finishing a very intense workout, I looked to my left to see that the maintenance guy fixing the machine next to me had burned more calories testing the machine than I did during my entire workout. FML

Today, I told my dad I was gonna to start working out again. He looked at me with honest confusion on his face and said, "You worked out before?" My mother started laughing. She was all the way upstairs. FML

Today, I was at the gym running with intensity on the treadmill. As I was working out, I noticed a few guys behind me staring at me. I figured they were checking me out because I was losing some weight and looking better. Turns out they were betting on how much longer "Fat Ass" could last. FML

Today, I finally felt motivated to do some exercise. As I got my weights out, I noticed out of the corner of my eye someone moving about outside my window. I got scared and dropped a weight on my foot. The person outside was my own reflection. FML

Today, while working out at the gym, I paused to check out a beautiful woman. The guy behind me said "Are you going to do your set or are you going to keep staring at my wife?" FML

Today, I was working out at the gym. A very attractive girl was watching me work out, so feeling like a stud, I tried to lift a really heavy weight. I failed, got trapped, and watched helplessly as she walked away laughing. FML

Today, I decided to start my exercise video routine. It's an African dance workout DVD. Just as I felt confident and motivated about getting in shape, I realized that my window was wide open and my neighbors were getting a front row seat to me waving my arms in the air like an idiot. FML

Today, I found out that my friend uses pictures of me to motivate her to work out. They are accompanied by sayings such as, "You don't want to turn out like this." FML

Don't believe the hype

Today, I was hyping myself up to work out after weeks of being a lazy slob. I slapped my workout gear on, got my Spotify playlist ready, and just as I was about to start, my friend texted me asking if I wanted pizza. I’m now in my workout clothes, eating pizza on his couch. FML

Next time try and motivate yourself while looking at a female bodybuilder, still awkward but at least she doesn't have a penis

To me, this seems like the perfect opportunity to play mind games with your dad.

Hey, it's totally OK to be gay. What's not OK is lying to your dad and to yourself about who you really are. Come out and your dad will love you just the same. Then, you can call the abs guy in the picture and maybe you can get a date!

If the guy had Bud Light, your dad would be ashamed, but if he was carrying some finely-crafted microbrew, he'd be proud of the fruit of his loins.

Crunches aren't going to give you abs idiot. Its all about what you eat. YDI

Oh really?? Well, I eat rather healthy, so where's my abs!?! It's not like just eating right is going to magically make your muscles stronger and more defined. Idiot.

It might do something, I eat pretty healthy and I have (not that good) abs. I am the laziest person on earth, but I have light abs. Not amazing, but not non-existent. But I definitely agree that working your abs is a great way to get them better. But eating right might work to a small degree for some people, or maybe I just naturally have abs.
