Why do people bother "working out"?

[Vulcan]

I workout so I can beat you up.

Or maybe it's just because I enjoy the pump.

 

[Greenlizard0]

i can't really see any negative reasons to it..

Can be very expensive.

For exercise I: -

Walk the dog & daughter
Swim

Both 400 times better than spending an hour having to breathe in other peoples farts.

Not if you have a home gym you don't.

Improved sex life and confidence.

Thats a huge bonus from bashing the iron.

Improved sex life and confidence.

From my single guy's view, a better body gets you a girl with a better body. Also when I wasn't single, I would feel really bad if I let myself go, I wouldn't want my girlfriend to put weight on, so I also wouldn't.

Girls do care, even if they say they don't.

Would you stop loving her if she did put on weight?

So they can impress the laydeez..

Some of the most beautiful women go with ugly fat blokes and most women don't give a rats ass about muscle.
Most woman will be more impressed with your personality and bank balance.

If you have an ugly face - working out isn't going to change that.

But it does improve your other attributes.

I go to the gym because it makes me feel better, both about myself and I feel I have much more energy than I used to. As well as the other reasons you do exercise for like living longer etc.

Depends where you go. I paid £90 for 6 months

I actually did when i was about 16/17, i ended up feeling sick if i worked out too hard, actually was sick once after running for too long.

Not pleasant :/ I'll sit on my arse instead

I'll openly admit I've done that too but generally thats more down to what you have consumed before you head to the gym. The gym its not for everyone but I like it.

home gym is the way forward

 

[Mr-White]

I go because I have a free membership and nothing better to do

home gym is the way forward

Which requires a cash injection of about £700 for something decent.

Fixed for reality.

I go to train for other sports....strength in the right areas prevents injury.

nb. see the climbing post on page 1.

Such a troll thread, you know exactly why people do it, and if you're trying to tell us when you look in the mirror and see you 'beer belly' you're happy with it, I'm calling you a lair.

Actually about 5k .

There's little downside to exercise. More self confidence, be physically more healthy, more attractive to the opposite sex, greater levels of fitness so you can keep going for longer

For me it's all of the above plus the goal making and achieving, driving, testing and bettering myself. I'm addicted to cycling at the minute. I get to see beautiful countryside while I'm at it, and it doesn't cost me a penny either apart from food and occasional bike maintenance.

You are so cool, go away sadact.

 

[Vulcan]

Actaully about 5k .

Power cage + bench + Olympic weights.

He has a slight point. Saying you don't like exercise is one thing, and how it doesn't bother you. But saying you seriously cant understand why people do it seems far fetched.
