What motivates you?

[MM92]

Who on here finds it hard to motivate themselves to workout and gain muscle and/or lose weight? What keeps you motivated to improve?

i'm a pretty active person so i just motivate myself by seeing how i improved. If you're looking for motivation, you really need to find out why you want to workout. you want to look good at the beach? get better at sports? just be fit enough to handle any physical situation? Its not that hard to motivate yourself once you get into a groove. peoplse used to tell me this all the time, but i had a hard time believing it. Now that it's happened to me i can say its the truth.

I just love to train in moderation (3x a week) and I've seen the benefits. I'm now 40 years old and I feel great. Sometimes I'll spend a few weeks getting extra intense and work on a specific goal (fat loss, etc). Other times I'll just stay in "maintenance mode" and train with less intensity.

That I don't want to be a fat fvck.
It's 2nd nature to be fit now.
If I have spare time, might as well be doing something productive.

I hate feeling and looking gross, so that motivates me to maintain reasonable level of bodyfat and musculature. Beyond that, the week to week grinde of improving my numbers on the big 4 lifts, is what keeps me in there erryday.

I've also adapted my cardio sessions to be useful for other kinds of learning, primarily through audiobooks.

I suppose it's just the feeling that working out gives me. After a workout, I feel energized. I feel healthier. If I don't work out for a long time, I feel fatigued. Working out is a must, for many reasons, and not only to look good. But it's also for health, confidence, energy, etc.

I don't like to go to gym for exercise. I go for a walk early in the morning to stay healthy.

What keeps me motivated to lose weight? Every time I wake up with my arms asleep, followed by a couple days of weakness and joint pain. Type 2 diabetes is creeping up on me. The only way to avoid taking metformin every day is to keep losing the fat.

Training to win a tennis tournament is what keeps me motivated.

To be better than those around me, it doesnt work only for the gym but for everything I do.

I dont believe in equality in any form, there are those who are above and those who are beneath and I simply dont accept to be beneath.

I would rather feel pain and work my ass off and get the lion share, than have a easy unchallenged life and settle for a mediocre position and an average quality life.

I motivate myself looking like videogame characters
