What motivates you to exercise?

What motivates you to exercise? There are some days I feel blah and don’t want to get out on the trails to do any walking/hiking.

What motivates me is i want to loose weight and be a healthier me by walking. But yes there are days when I'm either tired or in pain. Those days I don't. What also motivates me is it I have a walking partner.

I choose forms of fitness that I enjoy.

Cycling, hiking, and trail running are my top forms.

I’d hate going to the gym because it’s inside, so I’d likely not do it as much. But I love outside fitness and always am in the mood to do it.

Beyond being in good health, what motivates me most to exercise is looking good—looking attractive. That is my primary motivation; I like to exercise so that I can look my absolute best.
