Britney Spears was once known for her rock hard abs and doing something like a thousand sit ups a day. Nowadays, as she creeps up on 30 and her body has produced two children, the pop tart has gone on record and said that working out is a challenge, chore and a struggle for her. Don’t we know it, Brit?

“Trying to get up and go work out in the morning,” she told a UK publication, “I haven’t worked out in, like, two weeks. Sometimes it’s hard to be motivated. But once you get up and do it you feel like you’ve conquered the world.”

Working out is boring and difficult — we concur and could not agree more.
