Why do you workout?

BackTatJIM

I workout because I want to look and feel better. I do it for me and only for me. I do not do it to get more girls, to make a ex jealous, or to look more like someone else. I am here to better myself and be the best me I can possibly be! I do not have a fitness idol, I just want to look in the mirror and like who I am. To live a long healthy life. So why do you workout? Is it for you and your family or is it for superficial reasons? I know I can't stand seeing posts with people comparing themselves to other people.

I work out because I like to feel strong and in control of my own body. I don't want to feel groggy and weak everyday, working out helps me to feel better about who I am and helps me not to care what other people think of me

I workout because I have so much more energy when I do, I love how it makes me feel. Also so I can eat more and it gives me a break from the house and the noise. As a stay at home mom I need some time to myself and this is when I get it lol.

I love honesty....i'm a mixture of both to like how I look and let's be honest who doesn't like attention. Lol

I work out to look and, most importantly, FEEL better! It helps me have more energy, feel more confident, and sleep better. It's also just fun to having something to do and look forward to after work!

I could never do home workouts because I need the time outside or in the gym. No kids here but I cant be inside all day.

Well said Jim! The same reasons as you! I was so unhappy with myself that it made me unhappy with everything else!

I still have a ways to go, but I'm glad I made the decision to get healthy..those 74 lbs will never come back! I'm not worried about what others think of me just as long as I'm happy. =D

My health is bad and doctors don't have any answers for me. I work out because I need to know I am doing everything that I possibly can to be healthy.

I just like being a badass. It's not showing off, it's just knowing that I can do things and I'm strong. Yesterday at the end if my hike was a long, probably at least a mile, very steep incline. Everyone was on the side resting and some people were really struggling, and I was almost jogging up the whole thing. I love knowing that I'm strong and I can push hard. That's all. I really don't even care what I look like. That's not why I do it. I do it to be fit and strong.

1. it's a great stress reliever. (feels good) :happy:
2. it keeps my cholesterol and blood pressure in check - I have bad genes, so even though I am on the low end of healthy for female body fat and have a healthy BMI (I'm 5'7" and 130 pounds), my numbers go bad when I don't exercise. :sad:

to prove to myself that I can be a better me than I was yesterday, a stronger me. Working out has become more about navigating the mental challenges as well as the physical ones. I no longer have a comfort zone....anything and everything is possible with the right mindset! Kick your own *kitten* every darn day and learn to love it! You will thank yourself, time and time again!!

Personally I just want to be strong. I have this inner-athlete that no matter how old I get doesn't seem to go away so it helps fill the void of being physical with something. Plus I want to look great nekid.
