Definitely to stay healthy mentally. I don’t care about losing weight or toning muscle though when that happens it’s a nice bonus. But my focus is always on taking a break from my day to day and doing something that is solely for me. Where I listen to what my body needs and respond in the most loving way I can.
My exercise doesn’t typically make a huge difference in what size I can fit into. My clothes fit better when I’m more fit, but that’s not my primary concern. I am motivated to improve fitness so I can improve in athletic performance and achieve new things with my body. Or maintain the things I’ve achieved before.
Both choices are right! Yes, I workout to be fit mentally and to stress release and at the same time to prevent any tiny increase in my wait.
For me it’s a combination I think. I’ve had issues with the way I look since I was a teenager, so wanting to look more like the way I think of myself is definitely part of it, but I also know that exercising is good for me and makes me feel good, as well as helping with mental health issues. I am trying to be diligent, even if the exercise is only a few jumping jacks in the morning.
I exercise to stay fit mentally and physically. I’ve come to learn over the last year that keeping active improves your mental health drastically!
I do exercise physically and mentally. Along with that entails things like having a long shower or getting dressed in something I feel lovely in.
I decided to start exercising to improve quite a few things in myself: general health, mood, sleep quality, energy level, strength, muscle tone, and some weight loss. I want to feel more confident in my body and I think I will feel that way when I have a stronger and healthier body. Since starting to exercise in the mornings, I feel more energised in the morning and I start my day with a sense of accomplishment, which is always great!
I exercise to embody a person who takes care of her health. It eventually helps to elevate my mood or releasing stress, in my case.
Well me personally i wanna feel good in myself !Ofc i wanna excersice to look good in clothes ,tho i do have low self isteem and exercising helps me a lot to feel good abt myself after an workout .
I would say that I enjoy both! Exercise or some form of movement is definitely important for me to include that in my daily routine to make sure that I stay sharp and happy. Putting on a nice outfit has that effect sometimes but I’d say that movement is always a fool proof way to stay mentally (and physically) fit!
