The Struggle Is Real: 25 Hilarious Tweets About Exercise

So I’m thinking most people can relate to the daily struggle that is trying to maintain a healthy diet and exercise routine.

I know I sure can, especially since I turned 50 and my metabolism seems to have taken a dive off a cliff, boo hoo.

I’ve rounded up the funniest tweets I could find about fitness…so have some laughs and know you are not alone!

the people who say exercising only needs to take up 30 minutes of your day clearly aren’t taking into account the two hours u need to sit in ur workout clothes and hype urself up

#6 Right?? It’s definitely optional. Here’s my relationship with running: I didn’t run my entire life and then 6 weeks after I had my 3rd child at almost 40, I started running. I ran exactly two half-marathons and then never ran again. It was a brief love affair LOL!

Do people who run marathons know they don’t have to?
