What keeps you from the gym?

[Ox 51]

I got roped into coaching my son's baseball team this fall, I had some warts cut off my foot, had a few other problems pop up and it has all kept me out of the gym for a few weeks. Now I just can't find the time to go. And, when I do have the time I just don't feel like going.

Do you guys have regular things that make it hard for you to get to the gym?

My wife and my two boys... And the honey-do-list that never ends !!!!

The only thing that's going to keep me from the gym is an AR. I need the gym to keep my sanity.

Running two biz's and working on my house. However if I don't hit the gym at least a min. of 3 days a wk I go NUTZ! lol

even with owning 2 business i still get to the gym 3 times a week but i feel its not enough especially compared to how often i use to go and more intense i would train

The only thing that keeps me from the gym is me, I wont make excuses when Im tired I just sleeep instead and dont get motivated enough but its usually only 2 days a weeek I usually skip, even when im sore I go and work something else. I think im more dedicated to myself than anything else.

I'm a trainer .. I can be in the gym during the fall and winter months 12-15 hour days training "other" people . I stand on my feet on that rubber floor and have to listen to clients hour after hour after hour . Truthfully sometimes by the time I'm finished with them ..I just want to get the hell out of that building . This trainer needs a training partner . I've had a amateur bodybuilder as my training partner last year . It was great .This guy never missed a workout and got me moving when I was exhausted . He's at another gym now . I need a partner soon .. I work out better with another person . I'm somewhat competitive and it keeps me honest ....I've worked out with my bro Saudades a few times .. That dude knows his stuff .. I learned lots from him . A good trainer knows when he doesn't know everything . I have a lot more to learn . This site is helping me BIG time .. Thank guys

What usually keeps me out is getting a cold or getting sick. Sometimes it can be hard to stay motivated to go to the gym when you work out by yourself so if I had a regular training partner, I'd probably be a lot further than I am right now. I always have a better workout with a partner and stay motivated to go to the gym.

To be fair, I don't know everything either, and I learned a lot from my workouts with buckns, too.

I don't know of anything that'd keep me from going to the gym anymore. I used to find reasons, but I'm there religously anymore

That's basically how I am as well, those are the 2 biggest factors for me

That would be a good reason, at least you're getting cardio

I'd consider that to be a good trade off.
