Every day we bring a different brain and body to our workouts. Some days we're pumped up and ready to rock it, but others days heading to the gym is a bigger struggle. Recently, I've been following US women's soccer star Sydney Leroux's advice [1] and thinking about how awesome I'll feel after my workout, covered in sweat and amped up with endorphins. The following GIFs are an animated taste of the feeling you get when you leave a tough workout. If you're thinking about skipping your sweat session, scroll through these and you'll be lacing up your sneakers in no time.

Workout's complete. You're a beast.

You nailed that tough move that typically trips you up.

You had no idea you could do it. But you did it!

Your instructor or trainer noticed your efforts. Today is a good day.

"This Girl Is on Fire" starts playing in your head.

Grab your best gym buddy for a victory dance.

Peering into the mirror, you realize you're not sweating. You're sparkling.

Who knew a shower could be so relaxing and delightful?

Is there any better feeling than stepping out of a hot and sticky studio and feeling the fresh air on your skin? I think not.

You feel so alive!

Oh yeah, now you remember. Working out is awesome.

Let's do it again tomorrow. Yes?
