10 Reasons Why I....Spin & Lift:

1. To find myself.
2. To strengthen both my physical and mental state.
3. To lose weight.
4. To challenge and push myself to new levels.
5. To have that necessary "me" time and be void of thought for an hour or two.
6. To be the girl people look at and think "dang, she's fit".
7. To see my muscle tone.
8. So I can say I've accomplished something outside of my education (I've already ridden for 400 miles since mid-January!)
9. To meet new people.
10. So that I can't say I've wasted my potential athleticism.


I thought of this topic today during my morning ride. I figure we all have reasons why we do what we do to keep/get into shape.

What are YOUR reasons?
