Ugh, you think getting up a 1/2 hour to work out is tough… try getting up at 4am to work out! Yep, that’s what I do – the night before I have to do that, I literally DON’T sleep because when I “wake up” every hour I am constantly telling myself, ok, 5 hours until I have to get up…. and the count down begins!! Luckily, after that early-ass work out I feel WONDERFUL and can take on the day without any problems!!

I Exercise because of the Challenge , knowing that if I don’t I may become a huge and unhappy person and honestly I like other people would hate that for around 5 years know I have done research on weight loss and the most success stories come from the ones who can take over there mindset.

I say this because your mind is what makes you get up in the morning and exercise, I love some of the reason they get up, in the end its all up to your mind if you can’t control your mindset you will never control your life!!

I execercise to feel better. However, I exercise at 5:00am because I have a god send for a running partner, my mother. If it weren’t for the quality mother/daughter time I seriously wouldn’t get my butt out of bed.

I realized in college I’m simply not self motivated to rise at 4:30 but if someone is waiting on me – it makes all the difference in the world. I formed a running group in college and now that I’m all grown up, my Mom is my running group. Funny huh? Gotta say I love it though!

Because I feel better when I work out. Starting the day off with physical activity is awesome for me. Day just feels better and I feel like I accomplished something, even if nothing else got done that day. The bonus is I love participating in triathlons and if I don’t train, I won’t perform my best.

I run mainly to maintain my weight. But it also helps me relax and stay in control with my hectic life. I’ve played basketball, volleyball, fast-pitch softball, and have been a cheerleader in my previous lives. But, running is by FAR the best sport/activity I have ever engaged in. You’ve got to stick with what feels right to you.

Why do I workout? I workout so I can eat, plain and simple. I like eating too much to not workout, because when I wasn't working out I was gaining weight faster then you could say McDonald's. Now I workout and I can eat just about whatever I want and it's yummy!! Adam @ TUMW workout music

I think it started for me as a way to lose weight, I HATED it. I would do the minimum amount I could do to sweat and then would complain about being sore for 2 days. Then, sometime clicked and it became something I did for me. I enjoyed the time to myself, I enjoyed not having my cell phone with me (as a rule, I leave it at home and walk to my ammenity center) so I went to get away. Then, I discovered the running high (or at least, jog a lot/walk a little high) and it because a way to give me energy, make me feel great and give me “my time”. It’s like the perfect trinity!

I really love to pole dance as a hobby (for me and my hubby in my home… not for anyone else :P). I find that gives me a lot of motivation to exercise to lose a bit of weight (so I’m lighter on the pole, less to hold), gain strentgh and just feel better! Pole dancing is so much fun, I really don’t mind the less fun gym workouts because I’m looking forward to when I get a moment to myself to dance. I have to wake up an hour and half earlier to get it in before the kids wake up, but it makes me feel accomplished!

Found you from CNN, now I’m hooked. :)
