This may be a silly question but I'm curious to know why you exercise: is it for weight loss, general health, or to improve your mood/beat depression? For me it's a combination of all three.

For me, it's all three as well

To maintain healthy muscle. Especially for women when we age we lose muscle you have to workout and eat more protein.
Over half the people who end up in assisted living homes start there because they cannot get themselves off the toilet in older age- this is because they cannot do a half body weight squat. I think about every time I’m doing squats and I want to stop.

Strength training/weight lifting for my health and to reverse osteoporosis and also to look hot

Mind over matter and control issues. My body says yes but my mind says no stay home and be lazy. It makes me more aware of what I eat as well.

To be honest, it started out as a purely aesthetics thing for me but then I discovered that it made me feel happier. More upbeat, more energy, and gave me a better mental state

Look good and feel good

General health and mood

TBH, I wanna have my best body! It's not about social media, I really just want to look and feel my best.

Of course, there are the added benefits mentally and losing/maintaining my weight.

Being able to eat what I want without feeling too bad 😅

All of it

General health.

Grown up seeing my parents include exercise to their daily routines as non-negotiables . They are both in their 70’s and aren’t on any medication whatsoever. Living testament to prevention is better than cure, for sure.

Extending life and quality of life.

Well, I haven’t been able to lose weight with training. So I do it for staying active. At this point I’ve stopped caring about weight loss. :/

So that I can play with/chase my baby and toddler. I noticed working out makes it easier for me to horseplay with my 30 lb boy w/o saying “mommy tired” every 2 mins 😭
