    I like the feeling I get from a long walk at a decent pace, especially a coastal walk. Something about sea air I think.

    I also do some push-ups occasionally because I can't be bothered to do anything else and I guess it's a good thing for resistance training ... or something ... anyway, when I feel like it I get down there and do a few so I can pretend I am the kind of guy that just does these things because he can.

    It impresses the dog in any case.

    Aside from a day on a cricket pitch every fortnight which brings more social benefits than cardio that's my exercise 'routine'.

    I could do more but I reckon fitness is 80% nutrition and 20% exercise.

    I wish I could say all those great things...It makes me feel powerful, gets rid of stress, its fun, but truth is I hate it! I don't like exercise right now. I dread getting up in the mornings to do it, I dread putting on my sports bra and shoes after all day working, I'm just not there yet......I ONLY EXERCISE BECAUSE I NEED THE RESULTS. LOSING WEIGHT!! I NEED TO BE HEALTHIER B/C MY LIFE DEPENDS ON IT. But I do feel better after it's done :ohwell:

    I can't deadlift a VW bug yet. So I keep training.

    At first it was to lose weight.

    Now....

    To look good naked.

    I live in a hot climate. We wear as little clothes as possible.

    When I first started. To lose weight and buy smaller clothes.

    Now.. It's so I look good naked and keep getting smaller!

    I exercise because I LOVE food. I love to cook it and eat it. If I didn't exercise, I'd be as big as a house.

    /\ this!
