God I love to workout! WOW, those are words that have NEVER escaped MY mouth. I get it people, I really get it! The adrenaline rush alone is worth it, the rest of the benefits are like a gift. It's all relatively new to me, this exercise concept. I feel soooooo good when I'm done. It's like a high without the street drugs. Who knew I could feel this good and not break any laws! I don't want it to end!:laugh:

Totally agree. I've gotten that feeling since joining a gym (just last week). I feel like since I'm paying for the membership, and I want to get fit, I am going to make my time and money worth it, and I try to push myself a little harder each day...the "high" from it is indescribable! Glad someone else is feeling it way to go!0

Fantastic to hear!!
I workout now because it is my "fix" - I don't do it as a chore or something I HAVE to do (even though I do otherwise I'll balloon up thanx to genetics) but something I WANT to do, all the time. My days are planned around when I get to workout.
It also helped me recover from serious car accidents (yes, plural, where they said surgery or I'd limp & be in pain for the rest of my life and never be able to enjoy life without pain or pills - refused it all & showed them what happens when you tell me "No" or "Never") & working out balances my serotonin & norepinephrine levels, even when highly stressed.
I've been hooked for over 4 years now - thinking it's going to take an act of madness to get me to stop0 -
Endorphins rock! :smokin:0

Exercise is a strange thing. Sometimes you just don't feel like doing it but you drag yourself to the gym and once you get started you feel awesome and don't want to stop. Crazy right? :laugh:0
