Your work-out motivation

[VicunaBlue]

To make it so the black people at my school dont bug me. /racism

 

[ChromeAlchemist]

Because the bastards on the other team will show no mercy, I want to be stronger than them, and I don't want to fuck up?

 

[PureChaos]

The psycho chasing behind me with a chainsaw.

That gets me going in the morning.

comes after you, too? and there's me thinking i was the only one!

 

[Arkhangelsk]

That girl I like =p

Hm, interesting technique, I'll have to try that. You know, when I find "that girl". But it would probably work for me.

It was more of a joke than anything else, there is that girl but just a workout wont help that. In reality I just stay in shape and use not being a fat bastard as my motivation.

But it does actually work. Exercise = sexy body = self confidence. What girl can resist a sexy self confident gamer?

Haha, fair point. Mind you I normally leave out the gamer point, I will admit nerd but gamer not so much. Mind you recently I have been gaming for less than five hours a week, I spend all my time on software and the internet, or talking to real people.. scary.

Same here, I don't play as much as usual, but I still consider myself a gamer, mostly thanks to the stack of games on my shelf. And let's not get started on all my old Gameboy, SNES and N64 games hidden in my closet.

It makes food taste better.

 

[Master Kuja]

I'll stick with the Dr. Cox rule of "I hate my body."

 

[Xojins]

Basically, I like my body working correctly. So, by working out, my body will operate more efficiently. I like efficiency.

 

[MarsProbe]

That girl I like =p

That's the motivation that got me started. Unfortunately, "that girl" ended up getting a another (superior?) offer, so what keeps me going now?

Sheer grim determination not to be so easily defeated I guess. That, and some level of fitness should be a boon during the impending zombie apocalypse.

 

[Poomanchu745]

With me im either in a workout mood or not. And it is very hard to get into it. I used to work out every day or 2 and then over did it and injured myself and had to stop for a month. I tried to get back into it but just couldn't. Now im working out a decent amount but still could be doing a lot more. I just hate having fat on the stomach.

 

[chronobreak]

I've got a family, and I want to be around as long as possible for them. I should probably quit the smoking and copious amounts of alcohol, but hey, at least I'm doing something.

 

[Arkhangelsk]

Oh, don't worry. I chase many people. And to spice it up, with axes too sometimes!

 

[Random Argument Man]

I need some. Maybe the fact I'm losing hair like crazy and bald+good fitness= sexy.

 

[Sacman]

I just say,"your fat and no one loves you now get your ass moving." which usually has the opposite affect and lowers my self esteem...

 

[Ruagh]

1. To stay in shape.

2. To kick ass.

 

[Slayer_2]

Well, I got to look sexy for the ladies, right? Or, at least, prevent myself from getting overweight.

 

[AvsJoe]

I'm just doing the bare minimum to keep my weight steady until I find some real motivation (i.e. a chick I fancy).

 

[LGC Pominator]

I just work out in between games, I figure 10 mins of halo, 2 mins 25 pressups/situps whilst game searches, I play shitloads of games every day, - i get dead fit!

been working so far methinks

oh and it helps to have a pretty girl on your mind, me being the obsessive type... I do!

 

[Kurokami]

We all need motivation when we feel like running the extra mile (literally). So what is your motivation whenever you feel like working up a sweat and getting some sexy muscles? I don't really have one, since I rarely exercise, but it would have to be, to quote Dr. Cox: "The one ground rule: I hate my body!"

That's probably what I use too, Whether its directly injecting delusions into my brain or making me cockier I actually feel quite proud of my body image when working out, If I fail to then I feel like shit about it.

Apart from that the simple, "fuck off, fat" method is what gets me going.

 

[Fenwolf2003]

When I get to exercising I'm awesome at it. Lost a stone in 5 days just from diet and exercise. But then I stopped and got fat again. So probably being less fat is an awesome reason to exercise....

And the sex is better too >.>

 

[Crofty]

"You are a fucking pathetic weakling. Lift that fucking weight."
Seems to work. Anger and self hate are also good, when it starts hurting, remind yourself you deserve every single bit of pain, and voila, one more set on the bench than you'd do normally.
