Do you also lift/train?

If you train, what are your motivations?

And if you don't, why not?

I train some just to keep from falling apart as I age. But I'm lazy AF

I usually train with my girlfriend she goes to the gym almost everyday but I got sick 3 times in a row and lost all the gains so im not really going anymore since I also have a lot of work and I dont really enjoy it I really only did it to feel better about myself but Ive overcome my depression and Im finally happy with myself!

Congratulations! I know that depression can be a very difficult struggle. I hope that you maintain your joy and happiness.

Thank you so much!

Yep, I train 5 days a week with a little bit of a nutrition focus. Not too strict though or I'd go crazy. I just do it because it feels good, and it's a good separation from work and stress. Very meditative.

Well i try to do some exercises and i make sure to walk every day. but its not much i just do pushups against my coffee table for a few minutes a day but i do make sure to do it every day no matter what. i got a little bit stronger from this but i am still very weak compared to most men and i have been doing it for over 1 year. i should spend many hours working out but i can't handle that i am too lazy.

and while i like to walk. in the last few months the weather has been so shit and the sun goes down quickly. i only walk 15 minutes a day on average while in the summer i would walk for hours and i noticed my legs where hardened from it. but even in the summer you sometimes have rainy periods like one day i was far from home when there was a sudden thunderstorm not fun. a lot of people do jogging but that does not look fun to me. i also like to mostly eat vegetable soup with some bacon and i also eat a lot of tuna but multiple times a week i get invited to mc Donald's by my friends. so i stay slightly overweight. i have always been a picky eater i never eat fruit and i only like vegetables when they are in soup for some reason.

I train 3 to 5 times a week mostly high intensity. Trying to do strenght as well from time to time

3-5 days weight training and cardio

5 days,different body parts each day,use only dumbbells and a curling bar,1,000 steps on a step machine 5 days,all at home,only do it to stay in softball shape and to look in fairly decent shape,i do the steps so I can eat what I want

I do some form of exercise most days, probably average 6 days a week. I go to the gym, run, cycle (road and mountain bike). Some days I'll do 2 things, depending on what's on, the weather, work, social commitments etc. Partner does gym and pilates, usually averages about 4 days a week (her kids are younger than mine so require more supervision!). Don;t watch diet at all, have a pretty fast metabolism; plus I really like good food, beer and wine haha.

I used to go to the gym but I stopped ever since the pandemic started and I haven't come back since. I don't really feel the difference, I wasn't making any progress anyways.

I answered “No“ because I don't work out at a gym, but I exercise in other ways; I wouldn't say I have a “sedentary lifestyle” like the question suggests

Started 2 months ago, about to start training 5 days a week with a professional bodybuilding coach

Well, not atm but might start in summer

Depends what you mean by training. I don't lift weights, but I jog, walk, cycle and do bodyweight exercises. I'm not trying to gain strength or muscle, but I'm just trying to prevent myself from becoming overweight.

i rockclimb, and train upper and lower body partly to improve at that, but also generally to be more fit/muscular/stronger in my day-to-day life. i have tiny chicken legs (or this is how they appear to me) so that motivates me to do squats and deadlifts.

I train for two reasons. 1) vanity and confidence 2) I do feel better, breathe better, eat better, sleep better, mental health, etc

I do boxing and resistance band training. I keep nutrition mostly in check. I've dropped 50 lbs over the last year. Plan on another 15 and I'll hold right around 210

Work out with weights in the gym 3-4 times per week to stay in shape. Could definitely benefit from upping my cardio. I keep to mostly a high protein, low carb diet. Currently trying to drop 10-15 lbs gained last year from straying from diet and exercise during the holidays. Off to a good start in 2023 so far.

I train about 3 times a week now, cut back from 5 times a week. I'm older than dirt now, so it gets harder to get my butt down there. Just set up a home gym...so maybe I can elevate my workouts again. My diet sucks because I love cinnamon almost as much as female muscle. 😳😁

I agree with all of this.

i exercise with bros at home we got bench, 2 sets of dumbbells and a barbell. i also do cycling for cardio. motivation: it just feels good to lift

Cinnamon? Nothing wrong with cinnamon. Now Cinnamon Toast Crunch, maybe. But throw cinnamon in your oats, make protein peanut butter cinnamon pancakes, make protein bars with a ton of cinnamon, get some low calorie ice cream and dump cinnamon and nuts on it for a good treat. Actually it’s supposed to be good for you. Studies show it reduces some inflammation and good for circulation.

But anyway, 3 training days is still great. I’m currently do a 5 day plan (basically PHAT), but think I’ll change soon to 3 days of full body plus a 4th for some lagging body parts. I was a high level athlete that couldn’t keep going due to injury so I definitely know my way around a lot of different types of training. And the more I train hard, the more my wife trains hard too so I keep it up. We’re both very competitive.

@nbunited...No, sadly my cinnamon binge isn't always on the healthy side. I was asked one time, if I was stuck on a deserted island and could only have one food, what would it be. I said, without hesitation...Cinnamon Rolls. 🤣😂
