Ha ha ha... pure awesomeness!0 -
I exercise to lose weight and also because it makes me feel good!0
-
A little bit because I know I should, a little bit because I like the results, a little bit because it allows me to eat more and a little bit because I feel so much better after I do.
And, yeah, that's sometimes, "I just ran five miles and feel fantastic!" and sometimes it's "Oh, thank god I'm not running any more!!!"0 -
mostly for the feel good factor
sometimes for stress release
sometimes because I've had a bad day and I really want to burn off some calories
and then usually because it makes me feel strong and it's keeping me healthy and fit!0 -

This. :bigsmile:
But I have to admit that I also like the burn it gives me. Sometimes.
There's some serious kind of love-hate relationship going on here....
Also, I love food and I get stressed out and restless if I don't work out.0 -
I exercise to tone up and be fit. I wanna be able to run for more than 3 min without feeling that I'm gonna die! Also I like the feling after. You know that kind of high that I did it again!0

Why do I exercise? So I can eat more pizza.0

1. Because I like the little additional boost in weight loss and the loss in inches (Thanks Jillian!)
2. Because my bike rides have perhaps kept me from being admitted into a mental institution after especially hard days with my preschooler and toddler, or at work.... but most likely with my preschooler and toddler.
3. Because nothing is cooler than a nerdy music major lip syncing to One Direction and Carly Rae while pedaling down the road.....
......wait? What do you mean that's not cool?0 -
i have a motto in this house. if mamma aint happy no one is happy so let mamma work out and we will all be happy..... need i say more. i get high off of a workout!!0

There are many reason why I want to exercise. One of them is it helps me not be depressed and sleep better, relieves stress, I can eat and not feel quilty, I love to cook and eat it! My favorite exercise is garden work and mowing the lawn and weeds. I did this morning. Things look better. Also cleaning my home is great, and the gym here close to us. We get a brake becasue we're seniors.

I do it because of how it makes me feel. It gives me a high that I can only get from exercising. There are some days that I will do something every hour or so just to feel it. (hit heavy bag, jump rope, run in place) I am a runner and I get the same high from that so I just love the feeling. I also do it for the energy, the cal burning and muscle building. Oh and to look better and feel better. : )0

It makes me feel better about life. I've been going through some tough stuff lately so I go out and run and work through the sadness and anger in my head.0

To be fit and stronger. Also because it reduces stress and it makes me feel fantastic. I love challenging myself and seeing the positive changes in my body composition.0
