Why Workout?

Why workout?  In life you need clear goals, clear plans, and you definitely need to know your why.  Maybe you’ve heard of your why before.  Your why keeps you going when you feel like giving up.  It’s something to hold onto when it feels like everything is falling apart around you.

So why do you want to work out?  And really think about it.  If it’s to be in better shape, why do you want to be in good shape?  What would it allow you to do, or who would it allow you to be that you are not now?

Maybe it’s because of health reasons.  But what health reasons?  Do you want to be free of pain?  Be able to keep up with your kids?  Be around to see your grandkids?  Why are those important to you.

Maybe you want to build confidence.  Why?  Why do you feel you need more confidence, what do you think it would help you accomplish?

See, coming up with a reason, is more than just saying “to look better” or to “feel better”, yes those statements may be true, but it goes deeper than that.

Sit down at your computer, your tablet, or with your journal, And really take some time to figure out why you want to get fit.  List all the reasons, then list all the reasons why those things are important to you.  For everything you write down keep asking why until you can’t ask why anymore.  Once you are done, type or write it out and post it where you can see it everyday.  Your why is super important.  Don’t skip over it.
