It happens when you least expect it.  What could have been a killer workout is completely ruined the second you realize that you forgot your headphones.  Although you try to salvage the sweat sesh, let's be honest, it's hard to get into it without a little Beyoncé in your ear.  If this has happened to you, these heartbreaking stages will hit you right in the feels.  And if you haven't experienced this nightmare of a situation, consider yourself lucky ... for now.

Please tell me that they’re in my other pocket ...

I will happily pay that guy over there $600 to borrow his headphones for an hour.

I guess everyone goes through tough times, right?

I can do this!  I can do this!!!  (I can’t do this.)

Their playlist is nowhere near as amazing as mine.

You may go to the gym a lot, but you’re not this kind of strong.

I promise I'll triple check to make sure that I have my headphones from now on.

THANK GOD THAT’S OVER.

It's crunch time.  New Year's Eve is just around the corner and, inevitably, you've been thinking more about your outfit than your resolutions.  Many people make goals focused on a healthier body — whether that means eating better or working out more, or both!  While you brainstorm on how you want to better yourself in this upcoming year, consider these five things off of the list.

To Cut Out a Food Altogether

If we weren't meant to indulge in sugary carbs once in a while, then doughnuts wouldn't have been invented.  But if your resolution is food-focused, this is certainly the time to evaluate where you can cut back.  Does every afternoon include a midday pick-me-up?  Are you the last one to say no to a second helping?  Is dessert a nightly ritual?  Instead of saying goodbye to your favorite foods, plan on treating yourself once or twice a week.

To Work Out Every Single Day

Vowing to get your butt in the gym more is a great resolution!  But you have to draw the line somewhere, especially if you're new to the whole fitness scene.  This isn't to say that you shouldn't set the bar high (who doesn't love doing what others say they can't?), but it's important not to get in over your head.  If you don't end up meeting your resolution, it could lead to frustration and, ultimately, not getting to the gym at all.

To Follow Someone Else's Resolution

We know how it goes — it's December 31 and you still haven't decided on your resolution for the upcoming year.  If your friend is planning on losing 10 pounds, then why shouldn't you hop on the bandwagon too?  It may sound cheesy, but resolutions are meant to help you better yourself based on your own needs.  And not to mention that you'll totally be unmotivated to get it done since it wasn't even what you really wanted in to first place.  Try writing down the things you want most in life, then come up with attainable goals you can tackle in the next 365 days.

To Finally Complete Last Year's Resolution

How many times have you said that you will go to the gym at least four times a week, only eat sweets on special occasions, and drop 40 pounds?  Yeah, if only it was that easy.  Last year's resolution isn't relevant anymore.  Sure, you may still want to lose weight and get healthier, but you're at a different place than you were a month ago (much less a year ago)!  Maybe in the past you wanted to cut time on your mile run, but now it's all about lifting with better form.  Just because you didn't crush a goal in the past doesn't mean you can't reevaluate and go for what's right for you now.

Any Resolution That Starts on January 1

Hold up — but isn't that what resolutions are all about?  Hear us out!  While we totally support New Year's resolutions, it might not be the best idea to start your journey on the most cliché day of the year.  It can feel like you're doing it because you're supposed to, not because you want to.  And if there's one thing we know, it's if you're not in the right mindset to get to your goals, it'll take you a whole lot longer to complete them.  The solution?  Well, you're reading this now, so take your resolution and start it.  Right now!

Some people just look at a piece of cake and gain 5 kilograms.  For those people, wouldn't it be great if losing weight was as easy as this?

There are so many reasons to add exercise into your routine:  the serious ones — like managing seasonal affective disorder and combatting holiday weight gain — and then the fun ones, like these (try to follow logical progression here).

So there you have it.  Exercise is the key to a happy holiday season.  You heard it here first.

Even for the most physically fit people out there, gymnastics is not for the faint of heart.  So when one proud dad decided to show support for his gymnast daughter by attempting her routine alongside her, backflips and all, he learned very quickly why her sport takes so much dedication.  His attempts on the balance beam, trampolines, and bars are hilarious, but he actually pulls off a pretty impressive variety of gymnastics moves!  Is there a middle-aged men's team somewhere?  Because this dad might be a valuable asset!

Give the video of his attempted gymnastic feats a watch, and you'll laugh almost as hard as his daughter does.  At least he gets a gold medal for effort.
