I exercise because I want to be able to run, jump, ride bikes, swim and just play with my grandbabies! I don't only want to be alive to see them grow up, I want to LIVE along with them. :happy:0

So I can continue to feel like the amazing BA I have become. For strength, confidence, and to inspire others.

Reason one for me: calories to eat back.
Reason two: fun! When I walk into my local Jazzercise its like Norm walking into Cheers. Everybody knows my name! When I leave I am sweaty, but energized!0 -
Because I've lost the "why not."0

Because riding bikes and rollerblading is fun! Because every time I elevate my heart rate for cardio, it reduces my chances of heart disease and heart attack taking me too soon, which was a GENUINE concern for me a year ago.0

I recently quit smoking and have daughters ages 11 and 21 and I wanted to start something as a family we can ALL do, so I entered us all in a 5k in July0

I love how sexy muscles look...even on women!! I drool over my own thighs LOL!!
I want to feel beautiful in my own skin!
To curb my chances of getting diabetes!
To test myself and really see my strength!
To add on a few extra years to spend with my kids!
I like the way my skin looks when it is sweaty...LOL!0 -
I exercise because it makes me feel amazing. I feel like a badass every time I prove my old self (and others) wrong and accomplish a goal that I never thought I would be able to do.
Oh, and endorphins, of course. If I don't do any cardio for a few days, I start to get really depressed. Who needs pills for depression when you can get a natural high that lasts for hours?0 -
Because the other day when I pounded Loki into the ground he survived so I must get stronger or Fury will cut me from team Avenger.
Have a nice day, Hulk0 -
I exercise because I feel super awesome when I finish. I also feel super crappy when I skip more than a few days of working out. I can out run my kids (I have 3 under age 6, so I need to be lightning fast). And to the person who said you get to eat more, well, that reason also applies to myself.0

Because Thor & Captain AMERICA work out and NO ONE's gonna say they don't look amazing0 -
Stress relief!0

Because moving my body every day makes me feel good. I sleep better and have fewer allergy symptoms. I feel all weird and spazzy when I go too long without a good sweat.0
-
Because I feel better after I do it. Especially when it means I can eat more.

Because I *LOVE* it!
No matter how fat I've been, I have always been a regular exerciser. Since I was a young child, I've always done at least one thing from this list: played sports, taken dance lessons, gone running/jogging, worked out at home with exercise videos, been a regular at the gym, rode my bike to school/work, walked everywhere, hiked regularly.
My parents are both athletic people and valued fitness and physical activity while I was growing up. Being active and exercising is simply a habit to me, and I honestly really enjoy it.
I think I would exercise even if it had no health benefits and had nothing to do with weight loss/maintenance.0 -
- to support my love affair with chocolate
- sweating is fun
- gives me something constructive to do
- has shown me that I'm capable of more than I ever thought
- allows me to play and play and play with my kid and not get worn out
- free entertainment for the family (walking/running/biking together)
- cheaper than therapy
Need more???

Because it ain't easy being green...0 -
I see little old ladies walking around all bent over with osteoporosis and I don't want to be like that. I want a strong healthy body to take me into my later years (ok, and I'd like to look smoking hot on the boat in my bathing suit in the summer too :happy: ).0
