solbeam Posted March 4 Author Report Share Posted March 4 yea it makes perfect sense... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elementx Posted March 4 Report Share Posted March 4 And by the way. Winter is the hardest time to stay dedicated. It is such a shame to put in a good workout and than throw on this huge coat and cover up all of what you are working on. But mentally the cold and dull weather plays emotional games and it makes it tougher to get in the mood to excersize. I enjoy it so much more in the summer. Riding my bike by the beach after spending 2 hours in the gym I find it relaxing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystify Posted March 4 Report Share Posted March 4 I was bein kinda lazy for a while, but now I'm very back into the gym thing.... I think what keeps me going is how great I feel when I'm leaving there....nothing compares to that....Also, obviously, summer is coming, and I want to be in good shape and look more toned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well last week I had my reevalution and I'm the same exact weight however I've gained 6 lbs. of body fat and lost 1 lb. of muscle WTF:( . I haven't been back since. I'm sooo frustrated and disappointed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdancer Posted March 4 Report Share Posted March 4 Originally posted by solbeam what keeps you going?? The overall feeling of being healthy. I quit smoking, I run, and lift weights. I love the Endorphine(sp) high I get from working out. I feel less stress in my life. I feel in excellent condition. I love the way I look, and I enjoy the compliments I get (I'm modest as hell). I just think it helps me more mentally than anything... But I just want to be healthy.I'm waiting for the weather to heat up so I can go running at my park, rollerblade, and Mountain Bike on some trails.

nSyNcBaBy Posted March 4 Report Share Posted March 4 what got me into it? the desire to tone and shape my body....what got me to keep going? actually going for a full week... once u go for a certain amount of days u CANT stop going... u feel guilty and shit... but its hard cuz the day or 2 that u "take a break" its verrrrryyyy easy to fall out of it again... but if u do fall out of it... kinda motivate urself juuust enough to go back at least a full week- then ull get ur drive back and u wont wanna stopwhat keeps me there still? definitely the fact that i just cant stop what i started umm... the way i feel during and after... the compliments, my job :bartender so i gotta keep myself in shape if i want good tips lol: my health... i feel so energetic when i work out as opposed to when im not working out.. i feel strong... healthy.. and i feel good about myself. i prefer to do classes cuz it keeps u motivated a lil more than just will.... but i switch it up between classes, bodypump :class with weights:, cardio, treadmill, elliptical, weights, machines... etc... i already worked out today and im ready to go back again now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rewindthemovie Posted March 4 Report Share Posted March 4 I just started going again. What keeps me going, or wanting to go back, is i am so fuckin' skinny I need to build some muscle ( 6'1" and 145-150 lbs.). I don't run any (running increases your metabolism... that's exaclty what I don't need right now). I eat everything I possible fricken can and just do full body work-outs, it feels so good. Also, I get to see all of the hot chicks from my school there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elementx Posted March 4 Report Share Posted March 4 Another thing that keeps me motivated is when people come up to me and ask advice on some training tips and what not. That alone makes you know you are doing right for yourself if someone is noticing and coming up to you asking advice on a body part... Etc...

fineones Posted March 4 Report Share Posted March 4 im a gym nut all the way ..im addicted...to the gains and compliments ...i went from a fat slob to abs and a great outlook on life..what keeps me going besides the idea of more gains...is the idea that if i do it all now i will be able to be on the beach and FUCKING confident about taking my shirt off...just the idea of walking around topless ...gets me amped to stay in the gymmmm ...but what it really boils down to is the compliments from friends and family...but none more so then from complete strangers..nothing feels better than getting a double take from random women ....
