Default what motivates you to workout?

I am training for the air force and have had such a lack of motivation to get in top shape. I filled my truck up yesturday and was so pissed at the gas prices, that for now on I'm running the 4 miles to work and back. I am about to head to my gf's house and was going to drive till I thought about how sweet it was I still have a full tank so I am jogging the 4 miles there too. I think I found my motivation... a full tank of gas. Lol.

What's yours?

A pay check, lol. I wouldn't say my job is the most active, but I make it a workout by doing it differently then the other guys. Plus, I try and get outside as much as possible too (weather dependent, which is why I'm here right meow, lol).

Default Re: what motivates you to workout?

My motivation comes from different places. Usually one of them keeps me in the gym 4-5 days a week.

1. I don't want to be a fatass like a lot of people I see. I also don't want to be soft like most guys I see.

2. Friends. I've lifted weights with and without friends, but usually lifting with friends pushes you to your limits. That is of course if they encourage you and are motivated themselves.

3. Music. I have to lift with music. It keeps my adrenaline up.

4. Lastly, i've been in the gym for 8 years. Most of my motivation comes from not wanting to ruin and loose the progress i've made in those 8 years. You can, and will loose it fast if you find yourself being lazy.

The power of Zen. Knowing that by exerting myself I am cultivating a physiological connection to my higher stronger more capable self. Learning how the temptation to believe that I cannot can be overcome just as surely as it occurs. And vagina.

Also, for me its also the fact Im a vegetarian, whats the point of not eating meat (which is damn tasty) for a healthy standpoint, if Im gonna be a stick and look sickly skinny?

Nothing does these days. Wish I'd find some motivation. That way I wouldn't be overweight & out of shape.

Just don't like the thought of being out of shape

I used to work really hard at hockey, not that I thought I could go pro or anything crazy like that, just because I wanted to get better and make sure I was at my best to help the team

Looking at my old wrestling videos and looking at how big I looked. Also, trying to get as big/in shape as I can. I'm already the biggest out of all my friends, so that doesn't really matter. Also, I take jack3d and like it better than NO Explode
