The "other" reasons to exercise!

There are all sorts of official reasons why people should exercise and you can find those in any health magazine, website or book.  I am going to give you the "other" reasons to workout; the reasons that motivate most people:

1. Food ... I love food!  I love to eat! I love a good meal! I love a good snack! And I love healthy food and not so healthy food!  The more I workout means the more I can eat!
2. Time for You ... Your kids don't workout with you (usually).  On the days they are driving you the craziest, you will exercise harder and longer.  Even if they aren't driving you crazy, the break is wonderful!
3. Time with Friends ... Exercise with friends to motivate each other when one of you doesn't feel like working out.  The exercise is the added bonus! The visiting is our reason to get out.  We'll often meet for a workout when we don't feel like exercising, but want to visit!
4. Food ... Oh yea, I mentioned that one already!
5. Looking good ... Exercise helps to circulate your blood and oxygen.  People who exercise always have a glow to their skin.  Your hair will shine, and you will feel better about your body.
6. Food ... hmmm...how does that keep getting in there???
7. Feeling good ... When you look good, you will feel fabulous.  It's amazing how you can exercise away stress and problems.
8. Building self confidence & self esteem ... When you look good and feel good, your self-confidence is boosted!  Self-esteem is defined as "the experience of being capable of meeting life's challenges and being worthy of happiness."
9. Sleeping Less ... When you exercise and are in a routine, you need less sleep so you actually have more time for things; fun things!  And when you exercise, you sleep BETTER!
10. FOOD!
