I used to be obese throughout my teens. I never really cared because to be honest my self esteem wasn't based on my image. But when I decided to buy my first motorcycle when I was 27, I found out being as heavy as the bike I was trying to ride made mastering basic riding techniques MUCH more difficult. I was... a liability on the bike. So I made it my mission to get lighter, get fitter, to be a better rider. Now I just enjoy the tactile sensation of being able to move more quickly, with more coordination, more explosiveness, and being able to change direction more suddenly.
i just want to be strong. i don't even look forward to the gym most days.
I can happily stand in front of a heavy bag for much longer.

Primarily: To look in the mirror and say 😯!😯!😯!😯!!😯!! "no way!!! That's meeee? 😯😯"wow!! It isssss mee!! 😳😍I look so awesome!!"😊😊😊😊😊😁😁😁😁!!! And health purposes second but it's actually also first reason as well 😁!! and to attract the guys that I choose !! But this too is actually first reason too!! 😁😁😛!! And I actually love it!! And it it is a stress released and a sadness antidote :]!!
I don't care to fit "in"
I don't care if someone doesn't like how I look as long as "I" like it! 😛!!
I love exercising. It's part of my life. I'm happy with my figure and I exercise to maintain my shape too. I love feeling fit and healthy. I also find if ever I feel sad , stressed or upset, I feel in much better spirits after a good workout. Exercising is part of my daily routine

I like feeling strong and fit. Looking good is nice too but to be honest, when I'm out of shape it's the feeling weak and tired all the time that makes me feel shittier about myself than having a bit of purge around my belly. I certainly enjoy looking good when I'm nice n fit but my motivation is feeling good.
I started lifting in high school for football, and then of course for girls, but it quickly became for more "pure" reasons. I lift now primarily for myself, it literally makes me happy I'm not happy if I don't go, it's how I balance working in the office, mood balance, stress management, energy and vitality, feels fucking amazing guys I fucking promise you get under the bench NOWWWW if you aren't. Life is so much better!
It's my outlet for all the stress, bullshit, and work life has offered me. Somewhere it was for girls, and also cause I was skinny.
Now it's for improving my body, and it's mentally uplifting. Working out was the one of the best decisions I've made
im honest i fucking hate to exercise but i do it so i dont get fat and out of shape
i also like to be able to cosplay as boa hancock from one piece whenever i go to a con or on Halloween.

The main reason is appearance, I want to keep looking good naked ;). Next biggest reason, I feel better, have more energy, and I'm less stressed when I've been working out. I do care about my health too, but I think my diet has more to do with it than exercising.
I exercise to stay fit and to maintain my health, when I was 12 I was over weight and short so got made fun of a lot, so since then I maintain my ideal weight and shape. It's paid off, I have lots of stamina and not gut.
I love the burn, the atmosphere, the GREAT after feeling [pretty damn close to sex], and knowing that my muscles are bad ass fuck because of it.
To be honest.
I want to look better for myself and in clothing. It does feel good, too, that afterburn. The bonus is that I look good for my boyfriend specifically, but others in general.
Stats are pretty interesting.
I do it for health reasons. It keeps my blood moving, my brain active, my reflexes sharp, and my body trim.
Well worth it at my age.
u To be an ass kicker, and to get girls and my Health
You get to a certain age when you have to start thinking of about conserving your heath as you age. How you look begins to lose meaning as staying healthy to stave off things like high blood pressure and such become more important.
I can't lie, if I had a perfectly clean bill of health without looking good, i'd be salty as fuck.
I chose option B. I really like the way I look in my clothes when I have a slimmer body. :)
because:
-its enjoyable
-i have too much energy and need to spend it on sOMETHIGN
-to keep fit
-dont want to have to buy new clothes
-for sex
Most of my excercise is rock climbing or hiking, or occasionally soccer, all of which I legitimately do because they're a lot of fun. I have actually tried excercising for the sake of losing weight or looking cool or whatever, but I just can't motivate myself that way. I'm a lazy hedonist, what can I say. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I do because I like to look good, not for men, for me mostly. So I am confident in a bathing suit and myself. I also feel good after I do it, but I don't necessarily enjoy it at the time. I was never overweight, I started working out to get toned and be healthy inside and out. So, none of those options but parts of a few.
To feel good about my body, and be happy with the way I look in relation to my own body image.
because I dislike it when my body jiggles and I like the way clothes fit on me. Plus thus endorphins are too good!
I haven't started yet but I wanna start to get in shape. am 5'11 and my weight 139.. I have always felt I should be a tone guy. I'dk why it's just a feeling I have like my body not what it should be.
Summer body, impress others, fit into an article :)
Good question!!
I exercice to maintain a good body and because it improves everything else in my life : self-confidence, health, guys, stress... everything.
