I have always done some kind of work out in my life, however, as of the last two years i’ve stopped caring about it and had no interest in it. I did swimming from 4 to 14 years old, and from 14 to 16 i went to the gym pretty constantly, but now as an 18 year old i don’t do anything. I’ve found myself missing swimming, but mostly just giving up on the gym because i stopped finding enjoyment in it. However i am well aware that i should probably do something, it’s just very hard to want to do it in the first place. I don’t really care about being strong or handsome, but i’ve always been overweight since i was a little kid and even tho i’m on a diet, i struggle with losing weight and the advice is always “go to the gym”. How do YOU manage to find motivation to work out?

I know it betters my mental state, that will eventually worsen and evolve into a full on depression if I don't exercise. Also I'm not getting any younger, I like jumping out of bed in the morning without having back problems.

And finally women, i find it easier to get dates when I'm in better shape.

So yeah. Mental health, age and sex are my main motivation :)
