Why do you gym and why you think other people do?

[Polocrew]

I was reading this thing in magazine which popped this question in my mind lol so what are your reasons and why do you think other people do?

[That-Guy]

Life is full of "should i be doing this? is this good for me? is this the right decision?" Everything from what we're eating, who we're spending our time with down to the car we choose can have doubts. However... exercising is always a positive investment! Obviously we're leaving out the extreme cases where it becomes problematic...

To each their own but here's me:
- I do crossfit and the competitive side of it is what drives me. I love the challenges to overcome and look forward to getting better at all the movements. During wods, i look around the room and know which guy i am going to be trying to pace... This makes things fun and i get a work out!

I also play Tennis and mtn bike as often as time permits. Love just getting out and going.

[Polocrew]

So cause you are outgoing and wanna get better?

[BertMacklinFBI]

I think others go because they want to get healthier, improve their physical appeal, or train for competition or sport.

I go just to get stronger.

[Polocrew]

Just functional strength or for aesthetics too?

[BertMacklinFBI]

functional.

[ConsultantIsBack]

Acquire aesthetics, disregard all else 😎

[BertMacklinFBI]

@ConsultantIsBack that would require more diet :P

[ConsultantIsBack]

Acquire sloots , disregard all else 😂

[Polocrew]

I go to the gym because if I don't take care of my body, it won't take care of me. Plus I really do need my body to be healthy and strong for the activities I'm post passionate about such as dancing, boxing, rock climbing, and biking.

[Polocrew]

So your reason is your over all health?

[Esplorare]

Yup! :) basically

I don't really make assumptions about why others go. Usually people go to be healthier or to gain muscle/gain confidence but I don't know I never really ponder it and kinda just decide that's their business.

[awilliam360]

I go to the gym because it makes me happy. Its a way in which i helps me boost my self confidence and reach targetrs that i never thought i was capable of but most of all, motivation.

[awilliam360]

Also, because it's about the mind and not what you are physically capable of doing. I think that it is necessary to have a good body, although that is only a personal opinion. Plus, the progression over the weeks is amazing and i love feeling sore the next day because you know it was worth it but i always come out thinking "I could have done so much more or pushed myself that little extra", despite the fact that i did do all of that. Other people may go to the gym for similar reasons to mine or just to get fit. Sorry, i forgot to ad all of this, it just kinda sent those two sentences

[Polocrew]

So for self esteem?

[awilliam360]

Yeah I guess so. Also for looks and because i have a passion for muscle whether it be on a girl or guy, personally, i think that it's very attractive

[ChocEyes]

For me, weightlifting is just a secondary sport, to help out with my performance in BJJ, Muay Thai, Karate and Boxing. That's why my workout is VERY different from people who train from a bodybuilding perspective, which -although valid to their sport - isn't very usefull in combate.

[Zigzagz]

I go because it makes me stronger, look better, and have a more efficient immune system.

[Polocrew]

Lol which one is your top priority doe?

[Zigzagz]

Immune system. I'm recovering from intense health issues that require I have a flawless immune response.

[Polocrew]

You don't look like it, keep slayin em

[ConsultantIsBack]

Like many people, I went to increase sex appeal at first, but my reasons evolved into more pure motivation, it's for myself now

[Polocrew]

And for NASA?

[ConsultantIsBack]

For NASA research and sloots be mirin purposes lol

[ihatethiswebsite]

To feel better, look better, be more attractive, be stronger.

[Polocrew]

Top reason?

[ihatethiswebsite]

For me personally it's to feel better. I've had surgeries and lots of problems and I just want to be normal again. For others it's probably looks. Most people that don't see physical improvements in their looks will stop

[cookiesandcream]

I do it because I need to strengthen my back. I have a muscle and skeletal problem. So I go to the gym to relieve my spine from the pain and to strengthen it

[Shyguy_1988]

Keep in shape and keep strong to protect those I love and the country I love.

[Levin]

I wish to be as big as an American.

[Polocrew]

Lol what you mean? Like captain America?

[ColdHeartCries]

I wanna be in a healthy , attractive shape for my husband.

[cinderelli]

I don't workout. but when i will. the reasons will be to stay fit.. and healthy.. :)

[DamnCurtis]

Most people I know including myself go because we play sport and have to keep our bodies in good condition. Plus the ladies don't mind haha.
