    edited January 5 in Chit-Chat
    Why do you workout? REALLY? What is it you think about and want from it?


    Alot of people dont say it and wont admit it. Me I do it for the looks`. I want women to check me out as i check them out. The great health and feeling good about yourself are just things that come with it HAHA.



    BEAST!

      The real reason is because I want to look hot in order to attract the opposite sex. That is the primary reason. But, obviously, there are lots of other benefits too.

      Something deep down inside of me knows that some how, some way, adding a quarter inch to my biceps is going to prove useful.

      I actually enjoy the physical movements of the weights, It is a stress reliever. And of course girls like the way it looks. I think men look better muscular, so that what I shoot for.

      I want to reverse the effects of having 3 children

      my oldest is mentally ill, I need to be able to dominate and control the situation when he isnt in control.

      I have a history of depression, and that in addition to having a SN child, means that I NEED cardio.

      I kind of like the feeling of accomplishment when I do something I didn't think I could do ( like setting a new PR for squats)

      To me it is pretty much equal parts wanting to look good, and wanting to be healthy/fit/strong (as someone who had bad injuries I am probably more motivated by health and wanting to maintain mobility as I age than someone who hasn't experienced that). I started having to do exercises to recover, and when I saw how much of a difference it made in how I felt, it made me want to continue.

      I also workout so I can do things like go hiking all day carrying a backpack without embarassing myself around fitter people.

      I have 3 reasons
      1. I am too young not to be totally cute
      2. I don't wanna get winded when I go for short walks anymore
      3. In case the zombies are the running kind and not the slowly ambling kind

      I work out to become the best version of myself.

      It makes me feel worth something...like I can achieve goals, even if they're small. I had never felt before that I could do the things I can do now. I have become a much happier person, and I work out to stay that way. And so I don't have arm flab anymore, I hate that.

      OK, serious style though, I do it so that if I ever truly need to fight, I can seriously injure my opponent. True story. I am tiny and full of rage.

      1. To get stronger.
      2. To release stress
      3. To feel like I have accomplished something every day
      4. Because I have been trying to get to goal weight for 3 years now and i shouldve been there already. No excuses.

      I used to do it because I felt I had to do it to lose weight
      Then after the weight I kept doing it b/c I liked the results and liked seeing the definition
      Now I do it because I need it for my sanity. When I'm running I can empty my mind, think about nothing and just listen to my music and RUN. When lifting I think about each muscle and how I want it to look in my mind - one day I may get there.

      I want to look good nekkid and yes, I don't mind the attention from people who notice my hardwork. Overall working out makes me feel great; more confidence, more energy, more euphoria, more.... overall well being - mind and body!
