    I work out to be healthy and set a good example for my children. I don't want them to be lazy (and unhealthy) like I was for so long.

    Initially, to look good naked and prove to myself and others I could do it. Lately, it's to keep from choking the crap out of some of the "grown ups" in my life.

    I like how my mind relaxes afterward and how well I sleep that night. Exercise is the biggest stress buster there is.

    For the physical reason, I want my body to look the best it possibly can, not just losing the weight, but on a more personal mental level, i love how I feel after I've worked out and when I don't honestly its like a dark cloud over my head! lol I just don't feel right anymore if I go long without exercising, it's become a part of my life now.

    Working out makes me feel good! And it helps to get all this fat off my body.
  • I work out because I like to eat a bit more than the calories my body needs :) As much as I hate it, I get up early and get it done before going to work or else it won't get done during the day. However, I have read from good sources that it is cutting calories that really makes you lose weight and not so much the exercise. I tend to agree with that because when I just work out and not diet, the pounds don't dip at all. Now I'm so used to it, I feel strange when I don't work out.

    It is a great stress reliever and helps me sleep at night. Loving the shape my arms are getting from the push ups and my thighs from the lunges and squats.

    Not in any particular order . . .

    to set a good example for my daughter (this is actually #1)
    so I can eat more (I like food, thats how I got fat)
    to look good naked (duh, right?)
    I want awesome girl muscles (muscles are hot)
    I get rid of all the garbage from my day when I am running (the garbage in my head)
    cowgirl (it's hotter if you look good while doing it)

    Exercise is just another opportunity in life. An opportunity to see how far you can push yourself, to see how great you can be, and a shot for you to put your heart and soul into something. Its that positive attitude that that carries over into all aspects of your life for the better.In the end will you say " i lived and existed which was ok i guess" or " I gave it my all in anything worthwhile I did, and accomplished things I didnt think I was capable of"

    Love this ^^^
