Why do you workout? and want muscle?

Am talking to people who actually do. (for ex. lift weights) not cardio.

1. it is fun

2. it helps me lose weight, which I desperately need to l ose

3. i like to be strong; its reassuring, and boosts confidence

4. and, hell I wont lie, its good to show off every now and then. Does wonders for your self esteem when you can lift a lot of weight

5. I am a big guy, its natural for me to be strong, I want to reach my max potential for strength

6. and last and most importantly, it feels good; nothing like the slow burn and endorphin rush from moving weights around

Fo da ladies.

Pretty much just to look a little better.

I workout so I can live longer. It's a proven fact it helps increase your life expectancy. I see lots of old people still going to the gym. Keeps them out of nursing homes.

I don't work out but I'd like to tone my tummy. I don't think muscle is a good look for women so I don't want any.tofu-lion91

:o He's right! That's exactly why I work out.

Because its enjoyable. Really once you overcome the initial soreness. You just feel alot better.bobaban

To crush puny men with my massive arms! :x

to look good naked

It's my hobby. I don't for any reason other than that I enjoy it.

Confidence? Nope.
For sports? Nope.
Look better? Nope.

I do it for the way it makes me feel physically and emotionally.
You have more energy, better outlook, etc.. Plus the runner's high is a nice drug.

I think that is why I've been able to stick with my routine since early HS.

It helps me pick up chicks, but it also adds to my confidence a lot

I would like some tone to my body, and the girl who likes me (and i like her too) would like that a lot too. :oops:

Perhaps you were struggling in that regard, leaving you to believe in this misconception. But I was happily with my girlfriend before I started working out. I do it soley to look better and feel better about myself.

[QUOTE="dirtydishko2"] Towards what end? Let's be honest. The only reason people do anything like this (working out, good job, making money) is to get laid. The ultimate goal of most people's activities is to get laid. It is the ultimate goal in life. To get laid.Brazil_Surfer

Um... I'm still with that girl, and I'm still getting laid regardless :|

I want to look better for me and my self confidence, I want to look good in front of either gender.

Pretty much to look and feel better.

I do it so that when I need to punch someone in the throat, they won't get up.

To look good and for dirt biking. I don't know why people say it's fun because it usually makes me feel like crap.

I'm tall so I want to expand outward and be a lot bigger. I also do it because I'm paranoid.PS2_ROCKS

Exactly why I do it.

I'm paranoid that I'll get a girlfriend and, within days, because the sky fairy deems it necessary, some punk will come along and say, "Yo dawg, give me your girlfriend."

Then I punch him in the throat and go on my merry way.

Confidence and to look better. But it also feels good. I don't wanna get ripped though. Also to sex myself up for my girlfriend ;)!

I used to work out to for football. I stopped working out the year I stopped playing.

I kind of miss it, but don't really have the time/motivation to get back into my old routine. This being said it really sucks to notice yourself weaken dramatically over a few years, and that's almost been enough to get me back into it.
