What do you love about exercising?

backathome

I've recently started eating a little healthier and doing exercise when possible, whether it be 30 mins of various cardio at the gym, or a brisk nightly walk around my gorgeous area.

Aside from my desire to hopefully lose a little weight from doing this, I am feeling energised and more confident already. Not that there are visible differences, but I think it's the fact that I'm getting out of the house and doing something to get my body moving and mind off life's worries! I love the post-exercise flush too that I get!

So as the thread title asks, what is it that you love? Let me know

Oh! where to start!

I do my cardio at lunch (14-15 mile cycle ride) and love that im the most alert person in the team in the afternoon.
I love the pumped feel and look of muscles after a good weight training session. (she also likes it )

I must be some sort of masacist as I love the pain of the last rep of the last set. It kills, but is sooo goood!!!

What I love most is the buzz a long cycle ride gives me for days after the event... it cant be legal

I'm a fan of the pain too.

I love that feeling where I'm now sitting on muscle and not squishy flab.

I love seeing the changes in my body.

I love feeling like I've accomplished something.

I love being strong.

The anti-depression and outlet for stress is great too.

I love the feeling afterwards! It makes me feel so happy and strong. Gives me confidence and puts me in such a good mood!

I love the improved strength that I have
I love that it helps me in managing my type 2 diabetes
Most of all, I love that I can eat more

Nothing!

Just kidding. I love how good I feel when it is over. It was hard to get started after being a couch potato for > 10 years. SO I started gradually and at the beginning it was not fun. Now I am in a little better shape and feel so much better mentally and physically and the more you exercise the more you can eat!

I don't know how to explain it other than it feels like a high when I am working out....like I am on drugs or something lol. It sure didn't feel that way 75lbs ago though ...

when Im out running, I love the rush I get once Im in my stride-there is nothing better! My partner didnt really get why I love exercise like I do-then he got a bike so he could cycle to work. Now he understands lol!
