Going to the gym the days following New Year’s is a lot like going shopping on Black Friday: relatively pointless and a huge waste of time. The gym is full of specials, annoying people, and lines; and on Black Friday you’ll probably even get a better work out. Waiting on line for a treadmill that you have no desire to be on feels like the right thing to do in the new year, but who am I kidding? I only wait\u00a0on line for things I want…like concert tickets or cheese fries. It’s especially useless since treadmills are now so deceptive with their built-in TV’s. After two reruns of Friends<\/em> I may feel like I worked out for an hour, but in reality I didn’t even break a sweat. These pretend work-outs\u00a0 really just get in the way of my actual TV watching time and I don’t have to wait in line for my couch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’ll get motivated when everyone else isn’t. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1597,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[102,91,101,385],"class_list":["post-1569","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-play","tag-fat-attack","tag-holidays","tag-new-years","tag-nyc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bottomlessmimosa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1569","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bottomlessmimosa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bottomlessmimosa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bottomlessmimosa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bottomlessmimosa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1569"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/bottomlessmimosa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1569\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bottomlessmimosa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1597"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bottomlessmimosa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1569"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bottomlessmimosa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1569"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bottomlessmimosa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1569"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
