    Exercise is just another opportunity in life. An opportunity to see how far you can push yourself, to see how great you can be, and a shot for you to put your heart and soul into something. Its that positive attitude that that carries over into all aspects of your life for the better.In the end will you say " i lived and existed which was ok i guess" or " I gave it my all in anything worthwhile I did, and accomplished things I didnt think I was capable of"

    Love this ^^^

    Because it feels amazing, gives me tons more energy, and makes me feel strong and sexy. I also love the way it has reshaped my body. But yes, when I first started, I didn't workout much. I lost the first 26lbs mostly by watching calories, then I got more motivated to workout.

    I don't work out - yet. Mainly because I'm lazy :wink: So now I've hooked up with a friend, and hopefully we can motivate eachother.

    I work out so I can eat more.

    Yeah, yeah... plus the health benefits, relieves stress, tones, builds muscle, etc. But if I'm being honest, it's so I can eat more. Plain and simple. :tongue:

    This :D

    Stress relief!!! Oh and also to look good - lol - you can lose plenty of weight just watching your diet, but I don't want to just look skinny - I want to look strong!!! I lift things up and put them down, and feel badass doing it! ;)

    Many reasons; love the feeling when I have completed a good workout, love being outdoors, to get back into shape and feel healthy, and my not good reason - to be able to enjoy drinks with friends and not feel as guilty :)

    I work out in the morning so when I get to work I don't hurt people that get on my very.last.freaking.nerve.

    It saves my sanity and a jail sentence. Oh yeah, for health too.

    If you don't work out, you're hardly going to gain muscle. I like working out because feeling the burn and sweating feels like such an accomplishment. Plus weights will help me build muscle. I don't want to just lose weight, but gain muscle so I can be nice and strong. Right now I have to ask for help, getting them to pick up things that are heavy. I'd rather do it myself.

    Because you can always progress with your workouts and have a feeling of accomplishment. Whether the tape measure or the scale moves or not.

    I like feeling faster, stronger and more flexible. And seeing muscle definition and tautness where it wasn't before.

    Because I like to push myself and see how far I can go! I want to be fit. NOT just skinny. I have along way to go and diet alone is not going to get me there! Its honestly a stress reliever for me also!~ I get in the zone and forget about everything arounod me for that 30-60 min...
