What motivates you to exercise?

I enjoy cycling, either on my road bike or hitting the trails on my hardtail...no motivation needed really, it's an activity that I enjoy. It's good exercise, but I hardly ever think about it in those terms...I'm just out playing and having fun.1

All the lovely young ladies of course. But seriously: I only use the gym's electronic scale which gets calibrated every 6 months - those domestic ones give me different results all the time, up to 3 kg difference. Since I weigh myself there, I might as well do some exercise and jump into their pool as well.1

I love cycling. That in itself motivates me. I like challenging myself to go harder and faster. Also taking my dog with is a huge motivator as well.1

I want to eat more food. There. I said it.1

My preferred exercise is walking on a paved trail - like a sidewalk through nature! In the long term, I'm motivated to get in good enough shape that I can walk from one end of the trail to the other and back (because I have to get back home). In the short run, I see so many cute animals when I walk. Bunnies every time I walk, deer and some sort of large wading bird a few times, a teenage raccoon once. I also like earning more food, of course, but I live for seeing new animals. Who knows what I'll see next?2

I play hockey, mostly against guys, and I want to be able to hold my own in a game. I also work at a job that requires lifting, so I started weight training and I really liked it.1
