Why do you workout?

Pretty much said it all in the question really. Why do you workout?
Couple reasons could be...
To keep healthy?
To impress people?
To pickup girls/guys?
Because you pride yourself in looking good without a shirt?

Almost everyone works out, but why? Is it for yourself or for others (to see/admire)? If people were no longer impressed by toned, 6 pack abs and bulging biceps would you still be hitting the gym?

 

Everything you said.

Good shape > Fat kid behind the computer all day.

Cant see a good reason for being out of shape.

 

athletics tournaments mainly
everything else is a bonus

 

To look like an aesthetic mother fucker (in the future)

 

4 teh ladies

Jk. Not really...but mainly it's just to stay in shape. I'm going for more of a cut/toned body as opposed to straight packing on muscle (Think Harry Shum Jr as opposed to The Rock)

 

To live a longer life. I am not an extreme lifter, due to the fact that when I get older I want my joints and stuff to feel fine. I run, and free lift daily. Never try to test my limits and "max out" like my mates do.

 

All 4 of the things you said also it's not a bad thing to stay in shape if you enjoy working out

 

Sports, and to keep a healthy lifestyle so that I can eat almost anything I want and not have to pay the consequences for it. Also to look better, I'm more on the skinny side than the beefy side, so I do more reps than max outs to achieve more tone and definition that bulk.

 

Health, Girls, Lifestyle. Recently lost 30kgs (66lbs) and my life is going.

 

To look like this guy:

 

To be stronger than all my friends
For my girlfriend
Stay healthy and for sports
To admire myself in the mirror

 

My main reason for working out is to get stronger and become better in the sports I do.

 

I work to build body strength, maintain muscle flexibility so when Im older, i don't break my back picking up a pencil

 

My answer is simple... I enjoy it

other reasons:
to look good... for myself...

bonus of this : chicks

 

To excel at my sport.

 

To stay in shape, feel good, and look good.

Oh, and I need to stay in shape to pass PT tests in case I decide to commission into the army (active or reserve...undecided).

 

I workout for the sense of achievement in reaching my goals (that i set and break) knowing that my hard work and discipline will pay off and also to see how much i can push my body. The bonuses are a high confidence boost, Ladies, strength and Looks. I also love going to the gym that's my place where I think and release my stress.

 

I like to workout so I can fill out my tank top

 

because i love being able to lift more than 300lbs in a dead lift.. but also because at the gym the babes in spandex oh mah gawd..

 

Self esteem
I just like the person i am when i feel good about myself.
