They're excelent cardio and you get to know more people. As to the insecurity and turn off you mentioned, I'm dating a guy who is chubby and has trouble taking off his shirt before having sex, even with lights off. It's until after some teasing and kissing that I finally manage to take it off him. I’m not a fan of gym but I do play team sports like football (soccer in the US), volleyball and basketball.

I've now lost 20 lbs and added several lbs of muscle since the last time you've seen me. I feel great and look a whole lot better. The other night I was wearing a tank top and my friend Jenny said "Your body looks phenomenal". That put me on cloud 9! Not only that, I'm 49 years old and have been taking medication for high BP for over 4 years. Now, I don't need it any more, my BP is normal. Diet and exercise, who'd a thought? I use the 1 ingredient diet, if it has more than 1 ingredient, I probably won't eat it. Just whole foods, grains and protein shakes. Thanks buddy! You've been an inspiration.

And, like you, I have worked out my entire adult life, and can wear the same clothes I wore in high school. It's a nice feeling, isn't it? I think it is more of a personality characteristic, that comes from persistance and dedication, to keep yourself in shape. Same characteristic that makes some people successful in life, and others fail, and give up. Hey David, I saw the movie when it first came out too.

Fitness has always been a strength of mine. Having run competitively during high school and into my early twenties, I am well aware of how one can push their body and reap great dividends. I can comfortably say that working out doesn't challenge me like it used to because I've proven to myself what I am capable of. Career and business on the other hand, does challenge me significantly, and I have far to go in this area! My goals are to just enjoy myself and perhaps gain a little upper body muscle in my chest/biceps. I am a light guy at 5'10 and around 160lbs and am quite comfortable at this weight. I notice that many guys (especially in their twenties) are on these powder shakes and crazy diets... They all want to get 'ripped' I'm all about setting a goal and reaching it, and to each their own... But it does make me wonder... Are they are doing it for themselves? Or to maintain an image they want to live up to that isn't really them? Flashdance is also one my favorite movies…. & movie soundtracks

Some people have the motivation to work out all by themselves, but I need someone constantly pushing me. My roommate is trying to lose weight, and I'm trying to gain weight, but we can push each other to work harder, not to slack off, and to fight to meet our goals. Considering the state of my rotator cuffs (thank you high school football and college rugby), I doubt I'll be benching 200 again by the end of the year, but who's to say I won't be able to do 135 20 times?

Unfortunately, it will fly over the heads of most people. I find that people are mostly motivated to take steps like this when they hit rock bottom: doctor tells them to do it or die, they get super-depressed, etc. Losting weight and getting in shape helps in so many ways, even if you don't notice a change in the first month. Just do it. I got serious about this two years ago and have managed to lose weight and keep it off. I don't workout as much as I'd like to, but like David said, it's a start.
