In the fitness world, there's a rule known as the 80/20 principle: 80% of people give up shortly after starting to exercise, while less than 20% stick with it. Running is no different; deciding to start is always easy, but sticking to it is never that simple—you thought I was going to give you some motivational talk?
Haha, wrong! Today, we're not talking about perseverance; we're going to discuss those amusing excuses and see if you've fallen for any of them!
01 Period
The period is a universal excuse for girls to be lazy.
Don't ask me how I know.
Because my neighbor Codoon Girl has mastered this skill to perfection.
For example,
My period is coming soon, my stomach feels uncomfortable.
My period just ended, I don't want to move.
My period is a month away, I need to rest.
And what about the guys?
Oh no, I think I have a man-period.
I need to rest too.
02 Too Much Hassle
Spring makes me sleepy, I need more sleep.
Summer is too hot, I sweat easily.
Autumn is the perfect season to gain weight.
Winter is too cold, and changing clothes is such a hassle.
Short hair looks ugly when running, I don't want to go out for a run.
Long hair slaps my face, it's no fun at all.
03 Procrastination
When it comes to procrastination, the excuses are endless.
For example:
My new sports bra hasn't arrived yet.
Let me use the bathroom first, then I'll decide whether to go out.
After using the bathroom, I'll watch some TV.
And then, nothing happens.
04 The Bed
This winter, I fell in love with my bed.
It's what stopped me!
I'm so addicted to my bed that I can't get out.
Not wanting to go out and exercise in winter, the bed is a big excuse.
At its core, it's because of laziness.
05 Bad Mood
Feeling inexplicably sad, not wanting to do anything.
Yes, this is indeed an indescribable excuse.
Work dissatisfaction, emotional emptiness, or even—
The delicious chicken shop at the corner is closed.
All could be reasons for sadness!
Don't ask me why, I'm just that sentimental.
In a bad mood, if you provoke me, I'll cry!
06 Silly Excuses
I heard that only single people run,
but I'm clearly in a relationship!
Why lose weight,
I heard chubby girls are the cutest.
Guys with more meat are warmer to hug.
The gym trainer is too handsome, today I want positive energy,
I don't want to get lost in his good looks.
I have a girlfriend, and there are too many beauties in the gym.
I can't go!
I want to be a good and faithful 'good man'!
07 Smog
I'm not a smog inhaler, why should I go out for a run?
Haha, does smog count as an excuse?
You guys can judge for yourselves...
Anyway, Codoon Boy particularly likes this 'excuse'.
Hehehe.
After all, safety first.
Running in smoggy weather, take care and cherish yourself!
