As we bid a not-so-tearful farewell to the icy clutches of winter and welcome the warm embrace of spring, a thought begins to dawn on us with the subtlety of a dumbbell to the foot: summer is sprinting towards us, and our hibernation bodies might not be quite ready to see the light of day (or the light of the beach). Fear not, fellow seasonal gym dodgers, for we’ve curated a collection of funny exercise memes that perfectly encapsulate the annual panic and subsequent half-hearted attempts to get ‘summer body‘ ready.
From the ambitious first day at the gym where you can’t tell if you’re sweating or crying, to the existential dread of realizing a single salad won’t instantly transform your physique, these workout memes are for anyone who’s ever thought “maybe I’ll just start tomorrow…or next week.”
So, let’s laugh our way through the pain of reacquainting ourselves with exercise, because while the journey to fitness might be fraught with false starts and questionable motivation, at least we can find humor in our collective struggle. Summer is coming, but so are the giggles.
