M8:D5 (D622) Why do I do it?

The Muscle Building Fat Burning Video Blog

My camera (video and still) is down and at the service center, so no video today.

 

What's on my mind today?

As I sat thinking today I started to wonder in my head why I do what I do.  What is the reason I get up at 3:30 a.m. Monday through Friday to hit the gym?  What is it that motivates me to complete a workout?  Why do I enjoy pounding my body into submission every workout?  Why do I continue to run when my lungs are burning and I feel like collapsing?  The answers are both easy to find and hard to find at the same time.

Motivating Factors

There are several factors that go into motivating me to get the workouts done.  These factors are what lead me to get up as early as I do, because only by getting up early can I assure that my workouts actually get completed.

I workout because I want to have excellent health.  I want to look and feel the best that I can.  It is important to me because I have a fairly young family and I want to be there for them later in life.

I workout because I like how it feels.  I enjoy pumping iron and running on a treadmill.  These things give me energy and make me feel alive. 

I workout because it makes my body look better.  While some may view this as a vain reason, to me it is just one of the many reasons I do this.  If I wasn’t looking better I wouldn’t work as hard as I do.

Conclusions

I have concluded that my motivating factors drive everything else.  Because I have these motivating factors I fit the workouts into my busy schedule. I take the time to learn about new techniques as a result of those motivating factors.  I write this blog as a result of those motivating factors.  All-in-all, the motivating factors have made it possible for me to do anything fitness related.
