Once in awhile it's good to take a minute (or 5) to think about why we do what we do – so why do you exercise? (And if you don't, why do you wish you did?)
Do you like the challenge of doing something physical?
Do you want to be stronger?
Do you want to lose weight?
Do you want to reshape your body – become leaner and more muscular?
Do you do it because you know it's good for you?
Do you like the socialization – exercising with friends?
Do you like the alone time – away from other responsibilities in your life?
Do you do it because your doctor said to do it for your health?
Do you do it because you love yourself enough to do it?
And if you don't exercise – do you love yourself enough to start?
