What motivates you to workout? and keep at it.

[titoloco]

What is your main motivator when going to the gym? and what made keeps going at the gym (consistency)?

Me, my main motivator is to keep my mind sharp, and what keeps me going are the Girls who workout at the gym; these girls sometimes wear white pants, do pelvic reps, sweat like crazy and come with friends.

I sometimes can't help my self from staring at girls who are working their ass out. The urges I get sometimes lol, make me think that I just need a private room and I'll give her a workout. I don't act on these urges sadly lol, but what they do for me is get me to work harder.

I motivate myself by getting angry before I go to the gym. I don't mean by starting an argument or anything like that, but watching a video of a topic that frustrates me. For example, the documentary about the WBC gets me fuming. Then when I go to the gym, I relieve all that anger and stress, I work out so much harder and I feel so awesome and so relaxed afterwards.

How I keep going goes to the people around me. I work in a competitive environment and getting a one up on anything really gives me a confidence boost as it is hard to stay confident in this environment. When I see myself excelling more than others, that is a huge motivator. For example, a colleague of mine screwed me over and admitted it by saying "I needed it more than you, so I took it". I won't say what she did, but the point is, I got so angry at that moment (she was a friend and completely threw me under the bus) and wanted to beat her in every sense of the word. Now, I am not a vengeful person to actually screw that person over. I would much rather prove how much better I am than them without having to stoop down to their level. Keeping up with exercise and taking care of my body is one of those ways.

My goal to be more fit, have more confidence and make sure the clothing I wear make me look DAMN GOOD! lol Not in a coincided way but to boost my state of mind and keep a positive outlook in everything. I LOVE working out, it isn't a bummer or a painful thought. The soreness afterward is just a reward and I know my effort went somewhere. Dancing is my FAVORITE warm up, my music has to fit me 100% or else I'll get bored and of course having a partner/friend is a lot more fun. Having someone else with me gives me motivation and as well as the other person.

I enjoy sitting on the couch eating doritos, but I've been unhappy with the results.

I'd say two things:

- aesthetics

- when I'm boxing (which I'm doing again), a desire to be faster, stronger, more explosive, and have better conditioning. I'm not naturally talented, any ability I have I gotta work for.

Unfortunately nothing anymore. I'm feeling a little bit depressed lately so I've even lost the will to workout. Hope it will change soon.

[titoloco]

I get depressed too once in a while, When it happens I take a longer break period like instead of workout 2-3 days I work out only 1/2 I keet it like that for max 2 weeks. The time I figure out what I'm missing in my life then, when it's solved. I get an extra drive of motivation and I can lift more weight than I usually due.

I've just started working out again so I'm in the ugh how did I let myself get out of shape dreading it phase! But I love the feeling when I'm done. I'm doing it for all the reasons listed below, I'm a single mom so my health is very important to me as well as looks and I love what it does to my sex drive :))

[Anonymous]

that I feel fat and disgusting if I don't work out, plus working out is enjoyable and keeps my stress level down. I'm in a high stress and really busy school environment so when I don't work out I feel more stressed out and nervous, when I work out I feel more calm and in control, I go to the gym about 4 times aweek.

[BERRYawesome]

As soon as I pass a McDonalds and start rapping the song " I need a double cheese burger.." in my head, it's a wrap! That's enough motivation to last me a lifetime seeing as America won't be cutting down on fast food joints any time soon :)

I'm not going to lie it is for the girls. All of it. Every now and aagin something else might temporarily supersede the primary reason (Half marathon or an important match) otherwise To become physically attractive to women is the main reason I gym

[repetron]

I go because I'm a cheap person, and I feel like I"m wasting money if I don't go every day and get milk the most out of it.

[Anonymous]

I go because I love it, it feels good, and it's time well spent for me.

So maybe it's easier for me because I like it in of itself, but you might not.

[temptationfalls]

I love the pump I get after a good workout. My job also depends on my fitness as well.
