Why do you workout?
Jump to: Newest in thread
I don't. I hate it. I have never reached the endorphin stage with it, and there are much more enjoyable ways to flood my body with endorphins that I enjoy every moment of. And I think I look good without it anyway 💜 |

"Personally for me, I do it because it makes me feel good about myself and I like challenges and goals "
Same 
But to add to this, I find exercise a great way of burning off my stress levels, I zone out completely from life and the endorphins make me feel so good afterwards  |

Once you reach a certain stage, it's a great feeling to stretch your body in this way.
Also the health benefits are great.
Reduced stress levels.
Reduced body fat.
Better looking physique.
I'm glad I got back into it recently. I feel good about me! (I did before, but much more now!).

I notice a dip in my mental health when I’m not active. I don’t get really depressed or anything but I just don’t feel right. I also enjoy what my body is capable of doing. I can go for a 5k run and not feel exhausted by it. I can still lift some pretty decent weight and of course I like how my body responds to the exercise I do. |

Does running count?
If so, because I enjoy it; I enjoy exploring new and longer routes, I enjoy running old routes faster than before, I enjoy being in competition with myself.
The extra stamina for other activities is a welcome bonus. |

Of course it does, where I live. It is all uphill, so I run uphill always. Makes running on flat land, easy. |

Mental health
Physical health
Feeling of strength, agility and cardiovascular stamina.
I have no desire to be a chunky guy, I'm happy at 100k; relatively trim but strong. I used to be 115kg and didn't enjoy feeling so bulky. |

Used to train for strength at a younger age to the point of competition level powerlifting for my weight class. Now that I’m older, I don’t risk injury with such heavy weights and just train as it makes me feel good with the added benefit of being aesthetic. |

Downhill lol.
Nah joking aside, I live pretty much in the country so it is all hilly "
All those ups and downs sound like a rollercoaster lol |

"To keep myself fit and healthy. I don’t lift to get big or heavy - I just want to keep the muscles working as I start to get older. Keeping the testosterone pumping obviously has other benefits 
Hmmm I wonder what they might be  "
Marmite works as well |

I need to get back into it. I ised to cycle and curcuit train. Shattered my elbow and the recovery time and then work and then this & that and now the endorphin rush and the not bad body shape is a distant (and envious) memory.
Must get back in the saddle.

I enjoy going outside walking swimming and cycling.
I go to the gym on average 3 times a weight just to lift weights … this I don’t particularly enjoy but I do this consistently anyway because I know how vital muscle mass is in advancing years |
