Be honest

fcp1234

I just started going to the gym this week. When I told one of my co-workers she said “ oh that’s good, your son needs you healthy”.

Ya see..my son has nothing to do with this. I am 5’9 and 150 lbs, I’m not at risk for any health issues. I just want to look good... as selfish as that!! I want my 6 sick back and I want to fit into my size 2 jeans again!! My son doesn’t need me to wear size 2!

We tend to use our children as an excuse for everything we do or don’t do, but is that really the case?

Be honest, why do you work out?

I do this for me....actually my kids made me fat! LOL I think you just get to a point when you are done making excuses and do something about it...no matter how long it takes

I workout because I like the way it makes me feel and look and dang, I love to eat!

I don't care how I look, that's really not the big issue for me. I want to run a long way, much faster than I can now. I want to feel healthy. I want to be fit and well.

And yes, I do want to do this, at least in part, for my daughter. I do want her to see me as healthy and capable. It's not my main motivator, but it's certainly something that matters to me.

To look good, that's it, nothing more, nothing less.

AJ_Pete

To look hot and mack dudes. Are there other reasons?

I want to be better. I want to be stronger, faster, more agile, just better. Couldn't care less about how I look.

Honestly I work out so that I can feel good, look good and eat more!

I wanna look good naked.
And be healthy for my daughter.
But mostly to look good naked.

I'll admit it. My kids are one of my biggest motivators! And yes, I'm losing for me and them because they need their mom to be around for years to come, but then again I'm over 200 lbs no way comparable to you. But my kids are my life, so I'd do anything for them...

I workout for me, to look good for me, to feel more confident about myself. Look better in clothes

we have similar stats! i am just below 5'10 and weigh 147. I doubt i will ever be a size 2 again (thanks to my 4 kids blah) but i don't do this for anyone but me. i just want to put on some jeans and feel good, instead of feeling like a disgusting fat mess! i hate how i feel when i see my reflection in a window as i walk down the street and i am determined to one day be please with my appearance!

Mainly to look and feel good in myself, but, saying that I do want to be healthy and fit for my little man - so he has two healthy role models while he's growing up.

Omazed

Too feel good and boost my confidence. I also want to lead a healthier lifestyle.

I started working out to lose weight. Now that I am in maintenance mode I work out to keep myself toned. I love the look and feel of my muscles! :drinker:

DetroitDarin

...because when I lookin the mirror I think "there's no WAY I'd wanna see THAT guy naked" :-)

karensoxfan

Because I want my cholesterol to go down, and I don't want to have quadruple bypass surgery (like my mom did @ age 59) or cancer (like my dad did) if I can possibly avoid those things later in life.

And because I've developed a love for picking up heavy things. And putting them back down. It makes me feel like a badass.

Lakeswoman

I want to get out of car when I'm old(er) and not do that side-to-side shuffle I see so often.
I move because I want to be able to for a very long time.

helencita13

I want to be healthy for my cats.

lanie37

Because spare tires are meant to be worn in the trunk of your vehicle.

So I don't die young.

kie_kie

I want to look good lol thats it... I dont want to be called fluffy anymore plain and simple

msacurrie

Looking good and being healthy are good and will be a side effect of this but this is my main reason:

"Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body. "

1 Corinthians 6:19-20

Yep. Exactly. This is mostly for vanity purposes. I don't want to feel negatively about my image. I want to be able to wear certain clothes without feeling insecure or uncomfortable in them.
