What is your motivation to get in shape?

[Chaotic42]

I'm just curious. I've found that I build muscle pretty quickly, and that when I work out, I see results pretty soon after I start. My problem is that I just can't get into it. No matter how much I try to justify the time, energy, and money I spend on working out, I just can't keep at it.

I'm just unmotivated. I want to be fit, but I need some strong drive to get me there. What's your motivation?

 

[bradruth]

I don't want to risk my life on-the-job more than I have to. Being in poor shape would do just that.

Necessary to picking people up at clubs and online. All they\you have to go on are looks, so you've gotta look good.

Ah, that's a good one. I can't use it though.

My job requires tedious sitting infront of the computer.

I feel better physically when I'm in shape. I have more energy, sleep better, eat healthier, and get sick less often if I exercise regularly.

 

[Jeff7181]

I'm the same way... I work out for a week straight... then stop for months

Now that's the one I've been thinking about. I guess my problem is that I have next to zero energy. I mean StrongSad has twice what I have.

That was (more or less) my answer.

So you have no hope for sex ever? That would explain your lack of energy\motivation. Kinda like why my cat is so damn fat.

You must stumble upon an available lady at some point during the day.

Not for a while. The only girls that are out while I'm awake and at home are teenagers. Even if I wanted to have sex with a 16 year old, I don't have the patience to listen to her blabber about crap on the date.

My last driving thing to get in shape was the prospect of military service, killed by a cold-hearted doctor.

 

[Actaeon]

Well, to be honest, I'm not really in shape. I'm pretty skinny, about 135lbs @ 5'9". I really should get in shape though, I have plans for it, but no time right now with work. Knowing me, and espically when I say that, I have a feeling its not going to happen, espically with school coming up.

My motivation for wanting to get in shape is getting a better body so it'll help me out picking up (having sex) some hot chicks to help me get over (revenge) my ex (Long story).

I've recently started to change little by little. More clothing, some more bling, trying to get a better job (still working on it), taking better care of myself, improving my appearance, etc etc. On the list is getting in shape, but as I said earlier, I don't know if its going to happen.

The muscles in my legs are very weak. This was caused by a car accident when I was seven that bent my hip. The bending of the hip pulls on my legs, and that somehow causes the muscle to build on the outsides of my knees. It makes me completely unable to squat, kneel down, or even stand up without using my hands to push off on something.

After huge amounts of working my legs, I got to the point that I could squat my own weight at a 75° incline. However, I was blacklisted from my first attempt to join the military and the recruiter sent me on my way.

I was supposed to get a waiver the first time (when I was 17), but the doctor refused to sign it, saying "Boot camp would be uncomfortable". Like it's supposed to be milk and cookies in the first place.

So I'd have 5 good years of service by now if it weren't for that guy.

Well, I'm 6'2" 218lbs with a 40" waist (a good bit of fat) and a 53" chest (mostly back muscle, almost no fat).

Sorry to hear that, buddy.
