Give me all the good reasons you have for getting /fit/.
Reasons are personal. If you can't think of one then stay fat
It's a nice way to waste time.
To crush some puss brah
increased confidence
exercise releases dopamine and makes you feel good
its societally lauded and people will look up to you for it
it passes the time
it teaches discipline and self control
the constant progress is affirming and pleasant
it can be social
it can help you work out issues
it only takes a couple of hours a week (SS is only 3 per week for example)
improved physical strength
healthy body improves life expectancy
healthy body = healthy mind
you will look better
you will get more pussy (or dick, not gonna judge)
its better than jerking off to cartoons and eating doritos
mastering a skill is fun
you get to wear nicer clothes
you wont sweat as much or smell so bad if you lose weight
hobbies are always good
>don't get disgusted with yourself while looking at mirror
>you feel kind of better
>definitely increases your chances with grills if you're not a turbo autist
>grows discipline
I was so fucking sick of looking at my fat rolls and I started to lose weight four months ago. Already feel thousand times better now, I'm still a fat fuck but my face keeps getting better.

Boredom. Unlike playing vidya or watching netflix, it has actually a positive impact on me. It won't get me pussy, I realize that. All the "mirin stories" and whatnot are complete bullshit, it doesn't change shit. If I didn't like how sore and numb my body feels after a good pull day, I would have looked for something else already.
Being able to enjoy most sports / outdoor activities.
Not being crippled by fat and lack of muscle.
Not suffering a slow, painful death.
Outlasting, outliving and outdoing people around me.
One time I ran out of breath while eating fries. It was truly a wake up call.
>>35393373
This guy is the perfect emblem for America 2016. You can still recognize a man under all that french fry fat, assuming this ain't an ugly lesbian.
100 years ago this guy woulda been picking up heavy shit and carrying it to all parts of farm; he'd a done more volume by sunup than most pussies on this board do in a week. Now look at him. Poor pitiful slob. Look at your fuckin self America and see what what your goddam free trading factory closing gay loving ass self has done to basic fucking >>35393373
>>35393373
Not getting heart disease
Not leaving my wife without a husband
>>35394030
>Not leaving her the insurance.
Up my tinder game with a topless photo with abs showing
>>35394084
Life insurance is a poor investment above certain levels of wealth desu
>>35394110
Depends on the type of life insurance.
>tfw leaving someone with a few mill
Type 1 diabetes
To not be disgusted with what i see in the mirror
To be comfortable in my own skin
Fix posture
Improve confidence
Because appearance is 90% in this world and I don't wanna have to wait till someone gets to know me tell that I'm a good person
>>35394256
truer words were never spoken
>>35394121
No, it doesn't.
>>35394378
Yes. It does.
>>35393424
Those are actually solid reasons, anon. If it is OC, congrats in taking the time to write them down.
>>35393373
i keep fit to keep depression at bay
keeping fit requires discipline, and i need order in my life
i also like to have a better body than most people i know
i think those are my main reasons
1. Looking good
2. Being strong
3. Being stronger then my older brother whose been able to throw me around like a ragdoll since we were kids.
so we can be the men our ancestors want us to be
Health
Makes you look better --> mad puss
The rewarding feeling of mastery and exercising discipline
>>35394709
>giving a shit about long dead people who shat in buckets and just so happened to have fucked someone relevant 200 years ago
muh ancestry fags are the worst
>>35394526
>tfw these were my reasons but got injured
at least now i get to root out the problems i have rather than escaping, but i miss lifting because it was actually really fun too.
>Looking good naked
>Getting mired
>Being physically superior to your peers
>Punching through shit
>Being harder to kill
I want to be impressive
I want people to look at me and think 'woah'
Feel good
Look good
Move well
Breathe well
Able to lift heavy things
>>35393373
My girlfriend is a bit chubby (But goddamn she has wide hips.)
Sometimes when we are kissing I try to lift her and continue kissing her in different positions, but I can barely hold her and one time I bumped her head with the wall. She was laughing when it happened but still. I wanna hold her.
Also I don't wanna be a fatfuck in my 30s,
>>35393373
I do enjoy being superior to the fat dyels that I work with (work in office)
Makes me feel better overall, I used to be pretty hefty
Wanna be healthy for my family, and be a positive influence for my daughter
In my 30s now so gotta stick to good habits
You're not in your body.
You are your body.
Take care of it. It's you.
>i can be worth something
>i can make it in the world
>i can look better then everyone else
>i can be the man that my father wants me to be
>i can a human god
>i can wake up every morning with pain vibrating through my body, knowing that yesterday i trained for this to happen
>i can finally get her
does anyone have the cap of the /fit/ post that's all dramatic on why he lifts
>>35395832
>i can finally get her
Let's be honest, this is the only reason.
So i can justify eating as much as i do
So i can feel powerful
So people will admire me not just barely tolerate me
So i can be better than more people

you get to beat the shit out of your body. put it through some real physical punishment that sometimes legitimately hurts. and people just think you're dedicated and not severely depressed.
Lifting is the only thing that keeps me from killing myself
>>35393424
this
it probably boils down to 2 large ones for 95% of people
>healthier
>be more attractive
being a walking sack of fat ain't how I want to spend my life
>>35393424
hey, thanks anon
I'm tired of seeing ridiculous motivation everywhere. I've gained and lost weight many times, going from 265 to 165 and back multiple times.
To be honest, I don't care about crushing pussy- I have a girlfriend already, and girls say I'm handsome and compliment me in public either way- heavy or light. (barrel chested genetics, face doesn't gain fat anymore)
And all of this "BE A WOLF. CRUSH THAT SHIT." seems really unnecessary. Whenever I have had success in fitness, it was because I calmly acknowledged what I wanted my body to be like, and how I was going to go about it. You can't keep raging every single day.
So, thanks, from a person who just wants to get back in shape, and lift/diet to feel better, be healthier, and have something to do, with the added novelty of looking good naked.
I want to get stronger and be healthy.

>Harder to kill
You mean harder to beat up right? If someone wanted to stab you unsuspectingly with a knife then you'd be dead before any muscle would come into play. Knives wont suddenly snap off on your adamantium frame after lifting.
Same with accidents too, cars wont suddenly break less bones and collapsing buildings wont suddenly hit your back and disintergrate because its so swole.

>work at a construction site usually doing demolition

to feel better.
avoid loads of health issues.
something to do.
to not feel gross when I look in the mirror.
get the girls to come around.
I look at the pictures of me in middle school
>>35395598
>Dont wanna be a fatfuck in my 30s
Totally this, I just turned 29 and have been lifting seriously the past 6 months. Im not going to turn 30 and be skinny-fat-whatever. Thats not the life I wish to live.
>>35393373
It's a project that I can devote myself to that doesn't require much brainpower to yield results.
Working out and general exercise is extremely cathartic to me. Sometimes when i leave the gym i feel like i just smoked a bowl, But that could the niacin in my pre-workout heating up THC trapped in my adipose. Either way it feels amazing and im addicted.
Former skinnyfat
>>35393373
For me, I love the sense of accomplishment and progress, but I also eat, sleep, look and feel healthy for working out.

Being /fat/.
I'm just trying to raise awareness of the sloth and gluttony that has gained a foothold in our lives. Really I wouldn't have gotten to where I am now without seeing other people choosing this lifestyle, and the benefits of it. It's just pathetic how so many people have opted out of our society by being unemployed and obese.
The man I want to be doesn't look the way I do now. He's stronger, faster, smarter. Happier. And every night I fall asleep after a good workout or a hard study session, the distance between me and that man is getting shorter.
I haven't seen my dick in over a year.
it keeps me from killing myself
>>35393373
/thread
>implying you will make it with that shitty attitude
>>35393373
I want to get fit for her
>>35393373
It forced a routine on me, especially because of the "diet" part, which is perfect considering I'd spend weeks not eating just because.
It made me way more confident in general.
It's nice to have a long term unreachable goal.
