For me, I have alot of medical issues. I have alot of injuries to my legs that caused me to have alot of metal in both my legs. That caused me to be in a wheel chair for a long time. Hince I gained alot of weight. I want to exercise to get the weight of my body and joints. Trying to give my body more of a fighting chance against my medical issues. I want to live healthier and enjoy my life. I am 50 now. I want it to be a long life. Living unhealthy I feel will shorten it. My body struggles with the weight it’s not used to carrying. I wish you good luck.
My body feels like I have had a massage after a session of hot yoga... I really look forward to the end of my session :) good luck
I stay motivated by knowing that it’s important for my life and can determine how healthy i am. Also knowing your why is very important because even even when things are tough i always go back to my why.
My doctors said that I have problems with health :( I was a bit scared. Also, I want to feel more energized! And become an Iron Man! And be strong! And dancing without risk of losing consichness
A mix between fanatism, self love and a wish to be healthier. I’ve been trying to learn some dances from an anime I watch. And I’ve pushed myself to get my but up and dedicate at least 10 minutes to it. By mixing something that I like with something that I don’t but must do it helps me keep myself motivated. Good luck!

I am aware of living healthy. To keep fit food, exercise and sleep is must. On the contrary am also concern about the disease burden. So I want to follow routine and maintain discipline. All this are my motivation for doing exercise.
Firstly my daughter’s. Not simply so I can stay active and keep up with them as they grow. Mostly actually to be a better mum for them. Secondly, When I exercise I get to rid myself of whatever energies are harbouring themselves in me at the time. Clear my head, breathe and focus on the task at hand. I know I am a better person when I move my body, and the positive feelings that movement evokes in me lasts a lot longer than a quick hit indulgence. The fact that we see ourselves as "so busy" but still prioritise our health and our bodies by making time in our busy schedule to exercise sets a good example for our girls. At the end of the day, I think setting up healthy habits now that we can sustain into the future we will help our Daughters achieve the same in their lives.
We’re trying to get pregnant. Even though many women can get pregnant when overweight, I have "unexplained infertility" issues and a healthy BMI could greatly increase my chances of becoming pregnant
I want to live a long life & I want it to be a happy & healthy life. I’m an independent person and I want to maintain that independence! I visit folks in senior care facilities who can’t be independent because of physical limitations that could have been overcome had they been stronger and more fit from the outset. It also is a source of pride and hope in my current context!
Pretty specific for me, but I got cast as a dancer for a small musical and I am so out of shape it’s ridiculous. I want to be able to do rehearsals and not be out of breath in the middle. Before it, though, it was 'getting healthy', but it didn’t really work for me. Maybe it’s better to have a specific goal in mind to reach at the end of the year/in 6 months/idk how long!
