    I like the way I feel after working out. I like that it clears the senses and calms me down. It takes away anger. It calms the stress.

    And... I like that it helps me lose weight... obviously.

    Stress relief...works like a charm! Especially if you jam to your favorite music too.

    To look good naked

    To outlift certain people

    To be awesome (oh, wait I already am)

    Because it's something to do

    So I don't feel like a cardiac patient when I walk up the stairs.

    Because I REALLY REALLY really like dessert. :0)

    Yes! And because I really enjoy kayaking and hiking and power shopping and those things are easier when 10 minutes of it doesn't make you winded, but mostly becasue I REALLY REALLY like dessert.

    I work out because I love it. I love knowing I've done Insanity 3X. I love the look on people's faces when I talk about my workout program...they are impressed and jealous. I love buying new clothes because the size 6s fall off. I love the fact that I am smaller than most my daughters 13 year old friends and I am 39. I love the high workouts give me, the exhaustion, the soreness, the peace, I love it all.

    Because high blood pressure, heart disease, and heart attack are very common in my family (both sides).

    I live for cardio!

    (Okay, being able to eat more is a nice bonus; I admit it.)

    Aesthetics, community, and I love too.

    It really does help with physical labor though. I can do so many more things and with more ease.

    I like the way it makes me feel the day AFTER. The sore muscles. The abundance of energy (I crash the day of a workout but the day after I feel energetic).

    I get the same way. I am exhausted the day of a work out but the next day I feel awesome! glad I'm not the only one. :)

    - I'm tired of being the fat sheep of the family.

    - Thrift shopping becomes easier when you aren't restricted to plus sizes (although it will never be easy, because I'm practically 6' tall)

    - Being strong is DANG USEFUL

    - If I have children someday, I want them to inherit a healthy lifestyle
