Hm. Depending on the day, I either see running as a way to totally unwind and de-stress OR I see it as something I must do as part of training. I’m one of those people that needs an end goal when it comes to running. Running, just to run usually only lasts a couple months for me so I like to scatter races throughout the year to keep me going. I see it as a way to challenge myself and keep things interesting Plus, I may just love getting really sweaty. ahhaa.

So true..Getting exercise is fun and makes your body stay in fit as well. It’s not that easy though but you’ll see, it pays off all your effort.. You’ll be in great shape.. and much healthier than you’ve ever been. I like this post.. Keep posting more!

I totally agree with you about “feeling good” as a reason to exercise!! I started out with the intention of looking great in my clothes, but now it is how hard can I push myself, how far can I take this, how fast can I really go. Since I didn’t start working out until the fresh 15, I have been surprising myself over what I can do working-out-wise for a few years. And I love surprises!!

Great post! I have to admit one of the reasons why I exercise is to look good.. but that’s not the only reason! I also exercise to strengthen my muscles, my bones, my heart, and my lungs. I also exercise to relieve stress.. and most importantly I exercise because I can! I’m fortunate to have legs and arms and a body that is able to exercise.. some people cant!

I don’t know if thats a peach or a nectarine- but it looks so freaking good! That is some delicious snackage.

I <3 exercising. I do it for a million reasons- #1 my health in general, #2 It makes me happy/feel good, #3- Looking good in my jeans

YES double YES I use to be that girl who exercised only because I wanted to be skinny. I knew it was good for me but my pants were the main reason I made myself get out there. Now I do it because I LOVE it. And LOVE this post and LOVE my Holly girl too!

I excercise as a stress reliever…gotta love that endorphin rush! Plus, I noticed that it helps me not to get sick (like the cold or flu) as much. The final reason: to fit into my jeans!

Love this post! It’s taken me a long time to view exercise as more than a means to an end. And, honestly, there are still some days when I feel that way. But by the grace of God, exercise has slowly become something I crave – something I can’t live without. I love it! No turning back now.

Love the beet fingers

I think my exercise history follows yours. I used to exercise because I was worried about fitting into my jeans, but now I exercise for stress release and also because it really is a time I can get away from all the other craziness in my life

Have a wonderful Wednesday dear!
