How motivated are you to work out?

[Sassy69]

But anyway ...

My biggest challenge is getting enough sleep to get up for AM cardio. The training after work is almost literally the reason I look forward to going to work. I LOVE going to the gym. Even if my lifts are off -- I'm still discovering the increasing range & strength of my lower back. Even cardio is fun. Honestly I feel so much more control over my life when I am in the gym regularly.

y'all dont understand the shape my joints are in - lol



nice.....Kleenex stuffing, nasal dripping sweat pouring hottie


WOOOHOOOO

That's nothing...... I bet I know people MUCH worse (ie. can't really stand up straight, pops & creaks every movement, water on the kness / elbows all the time...... pic Mr. Burns)

I definitely wouldn't say it was attractive, but at least I'm catching up

I'm highly motivated to keep going. I wake up in the morning thinking about working out... as the day goes on I get restless till I can get to the gym. I think about how I may do things differently this week.. or have my lap around the gym in my head since I go at the busiest time. So I know what to do just in case someone is hogging the machine I need. I have like Exercise ADD (EADD) if I don't work out.. I feel the urge and compelled to keep going. It's hard for me to sit still and take a rest day. Speaking of this I need to go take a walk around the building I'm anxious just to get this day going to get there.....

I'm not a morning person -- I'm very tired in the morning & it takes me a while to get moving..... However, when I go to the gym I hit it!!

BTW Shadow -- how old are you? I'm 35 & am feeling it in my joints too.....

my gym workout is about the only stable thing in my life at the moment - it's keeping me sane. Due to unfortunate circumstances and just my good ol' bad luck I have ended up moving houses several times - once on the eve of xmas eve & now with 7 days notice just as I was getting settled. I am single & do not drive so it's quite a big deal.Latest move is a box room, which was the only thing I have been able to find in the time I had, which is like 4 miles away from the gym!

I had just decided to do a figure comp so I suppose the extra cardio I will do cycling to the gym & to work won't do me any harm!I just want to be settled & have enough room to practise posing!I also seem to end up with less stuff & money every time I move.At least I know where everything is in the gym.

I'm sure you all do this but I supplement every day with Glucosamine, Chondroitin, MSM, and SAMe. I noticed my knees were bothering me the last few years because of running, and have absolutely no pain in them since I started supplementing with that. I just buy it all in one pill at GNC called Triflex. It really does make a difference.

Yep, it helps...... I just have to remember to take it.... I'm bad with that....

I can honestly say i jump out of bed every morning and can't wait to get to the gym...

What about everyone else?.. Just curious..at first it was hard.. when i started out i dreaded it.. even wrestled with not going.. but now.. i have trouble taking a day off..

I'm the SAME way. If I miss more than a day, it's so much harder for me to go back. I try to make it a point to go every day to at least sit in the hot tub.

*Love my gym being 1.5 miles away*

I've had tendonitis for a while now and MSM & glucosamine do wonders!
