Reasons You Want To Get In Shape?

[Anonymous]

Now this is a simple enough question, and if your reason is wanting to be healthy and look good that's great!

But I'm kind of curious if there are any... maybe dark or serious reasons?

I am getting in shape because mainly I want to be able to defend myself, I want to be healthy, and also... because I want to be stronger than my father, and a better fighter.

If need be it, I want to be able to take him down easily, or anyone who is mean, bad, trying to hurt someone.

Does anyone else have maybe a more intense reason to get in shape than just wanting to be healthy?

Being fit and eating healthy is a vital goal in my life. I love exercising, especially participating in stuff like boot camp or sports. I enjoy mentally but I know my body loves it physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually too. I want to look great but I know being fit is very good for your body.

Oh yeah I do love it, when I realize how much I can do when I push myself. The only problem is that the only time I want to push myself is when someone is challenging me to. If it's just me then it's like... eh. I want to get in well enough shape so I can go do all the boot-camp things and I want to so I can be a volunteer fireman when I turn eighteen.

I am starting Ballet and I need to be flexable, having good strength and that. I Challenge myself every day to kick my leg an inch higher or try and get my head all the way down to my knees when stretching on the floor or bars. You don�t need to have someone to challenge. Challenge yourself hun and surprise yourself.

Hmm, maybe I will. I feel like I'm more like begging myself though. XD Come on, just one more push up? When I'm with other people I don't know, I like proving myself, I do tens times better personally when I'm up against someone or they expect more of me. I like to surprise people and well, impress them when it come to strength. I am pretty strong, but I know I can do better. The hardest part is quitting all the junk food. I love my junk food!

Fair enough. LOL. I know junk food.. Yummmyyyy!

But it isn't good for you all the time :(

[Asker]

Oh I know, I've cut back a good amount... still... tempting!

- Confidence! I want to maintain a high self esteem

- Attention from the opposite gender, and the same sex ;)

- Clothing- I want to look good in it and be able to wear cute stuff without being embarrassed

- Strength and endurance in everything I do

[Asker]

Agreed, on all but the attention. I don't care about attention.

Mostly for health, but also because I like being able to run a couple of miles without getting tired and it feels great not having a flabby stomach.

[Asker]

Oh I know what you mean about being able to run... I can't anymore, I have to get back to that, but I did love it.

For the Marine Corp., and because being buff feels pretty good.

[Asker]

You want to be a Marine? Awesome! I want to be a smokejumper, another reason. Being fit does feel good.

[MrWrong]

Nice. We definitely needs plenty of those.

Keeping up endurance and strength. Plus its always a good confidence booster to feel good about your body.

I am getting in shape because I know no girl will want to go out with me the way I am. I am thin and weak with not much muscle or endurance.

[Asker]

Well I don't know if no girl wants to go out with you, but I do know you'll feel better once you get in shape, physically. So that's awesome!

[Opinion Owner]

Thanks but I haven't had one yes from any girl I've asked out, so it has to be something. This is a good a place to start as any.

[Asker]

true enough. Do what you want, man. At least you're willing to do something.

[ArrograntWarrior]

I need to be in shape to fight battles and defend this world

[Asker]

Sounds legit!

[Love2Ball]

Sports and looks is a bonus.
