What drives you to improve your body? My excuse used to be women, but it was just that. An excuse.

What about you? What gets you interested and keeps you going?

I feel great after a workout, reason enough for me.

Got addicted to training a long time ago. Now I want to jump out of airplanes and kill brown people for Uncle Sam, and I'll have to train even harder if I'm going to do that.

same, it's also great for stress relief.
Also I used to be kinda scrawny and was picked on when I was younger, I like to surprise relatives/old classmates by being manly and attractive.

I'm bisexual, so it's very easy to compare my body to that of an attractive male and fall short.

Being a fag is what motivates me, nojoke.

2 snails fucking used to get me pretty jacked.

since they chewed off my nipples though, i used hypnosis to replace my unnatural and disturbing fetishes for grunting and swolling in public.

Now if only I could offload these boxes of nipple tassels my life would be complete.

I want abs first and foremost, and I want to look good. I don't even know if I'll get a woman, but I want to be the best that I can if I can be given a choice. I'm already excelling in class as well as possess above average looks. Self-esteem would help a lot more. Also, I want to prove to my parents that I can be fit, and just not fat. I was never fat, and I never thought of being fat as attractive.

If only the girl I would have liked got thin ... hahahaha

Hajime no Ippo got me back into the gym thing...
Besides that, I kept it up because it feels great, and I feel better about myself.

Seconded, and furthermore I want to be able to survive anything. That's why I make myself as indestructible as possible. That's why I train like a madman.

Those who train for women, be careful. I knew a couple of guys like that. Every time they got a girlfriend they stopped going to the gym to spend time with their woman. At the end of every relationship they were out of shape and chubby. That right there is reason enough to have other reasons.

Nothing, I am lazy and looking to start. I don't know exactly why, it just seems like a smart thing I should do. Maybe not knowing why is why I haven't started yet.

I love the feeling of strength, Don't get me wrong looking good for me though is just a bonus.
I play a number of contact sports one being Rugby League, and if you aren't strong you'll get your ass handed to you.

some of us just cant be happy living in that wonderful medium where we're relatively healthy, meaning not fat, but not exceptionally athletic either. some of us can only be at one end of the spectrum, either complete all-out dedication or no exercise whatsoever. none of that moderate three days a week bullshit. having spent alot of time at the bottom, it feels good to climb back up top again. just wanna keep it going

I have fucked up in the past and have a lot of regrets for not giving things my all. Ten years from now I do not want to look back at this point in my life and be disappointed that I didn't give it my all.

Even if I am still a loser in ten years. I will at least be able to say "at least I honestly fucking tried" rather than looking back and saying "God what a lazy faggot, you actually DESERVE to be a loser."

True about the woman thing. Anyone who isn't literally doing it for health reasons (cholesterol, blood pressure, et cetera) are fooling only you or themselves if they aren't at least PARTLY for the chicks. People who are training heavily for sports come close to achieving a motivation other than chicks, but a great many of those people dislike the training itself, and only do it because it's a means to an end. Though that could be said for many motivations.

Anyways I did it for a chick in the beginning. Got my fat ass down from 225 down to 165 and I hover around the 175 range right now. I gradually stopped doing it for women (HA!) and like to think that I do it intrinsically based off of something even more vain, which is an American Psycho-esque need to look as good as possible. Also, rage; you'd be surprised at how good a healthy dose of raaaaaaaaage can motivate one to stay in shape.

I do it to have an upper edge over the weak, to push my own limits, and so I look a lot better than the competition in the eyes of women.

In the end, it's all for POWER!!!!!

I'm weird, and believe that as a musician and artist, my body should also become a work of art, and a testament to the beauty that the human body should represent.

Also looking better on stage is always a plus.
