Why Exercise...

Bodybuilding is not just about making muscles to show off. I've seen scores of guys with "not for me" type of view. Its pathetic! But its just laziness on their part. They can play video-games, chat, watch movies and waste their time in whole lot of stupid stuff but when it comes to sweating a little, well, they have no time for that!! I just don't understand how come some people can't spare just three hour out of all the 7 X 24 = 168 hours in a week to their OWN body!! I hope you are not one of them. But still if you are looking for a reason to exercise then lets see if I can help you :

• Weakness
  
  Do you think you lower back aches because of the house-work you did in the morning? Or do you think that your legs ache because college is too off from the bus-stop? Do you think your neck and back ache because of age? No my dear friend, you are just suffering from a very very common disease called WEAK-MUSCLES. Your muscles hurt because they are weak. I don't say that they can't be symptoms of other diseases, but weakness is the cause of aching muscles in more then 90% cases. Think of the people who can do the same work, for example there are plenty of people who have no problem with the same walking-distance. They are just stronger than you. And ofcourse one or two weeks in the gym will cure all that in most of the cases.
  
  
• Oh that flab
  
  If you want some sure-shot way to make the belly and love handles disappear, its gym. I won't argue about all those newest scientific discoveries, magic creams, 2000 years old chinese-pills, liposuction and other craps. No matter what they preach about, I hope you are intelligent enough to understand that all they are interested in is making bucks. Even if you lose some fat, who guarantees that it won't come back besides covering the side effects and all? You'll just end up messing up with your own body. Then why not take a much safer and easier way? Just remember that the love handles are there just because you ate up a little more then your body could use. So the most natural and effective way to make them disappear is to USE them up by doing some exercises (mainly aerobics). I understand that those commercials make exercising look like the most horrible thing in the world. But its nothing like that. It may look hard for one or two days but once you cross the one week barrier, you'll start enjoying your workouts. And ofcourse, you will become more strong and active person. And all that with absolutely no side effects. The why shell out your (or parents') hard earned money?
  
  
• Energy
  
  This is what I like exercise most for. Once you spend your first one or two weeks in the gym, you'll feel remarkably energetic. It'll be something you have had felt never before (if doing the frst time). By doing very simple and light exercises you'll become much more alert and active. You'll walk taller and your face will beam with confidence and energy. In my case, I study better when I'm doing regular exercises. When I'm not, I always feel sort of lazy and stupid. Ofcourse I can't make you feel it, but atleast I can urge you to try it for once atleast. You may endup become addicted to gym like thousands others.
• Strength
  
  Don't you think a little more strength will be okay? I hope everyone can do with some little strength. It'll help you in daily chores, in a crowded bus and the best thing about it is that it won't hurt you!! On the top of it all nobody will bully you, you won't feel inferior to anyone, you will not be required to just sit and watch while some arm-wresling sessions are going on at the bench behind you (in your classroom ofcourse) and you will be more active and confident. And trust me, people generally respect the stronger guys more than the weak (aka timid) ones other factors being same. I'm not talking about the bulging muscles and all; you will gain remarkable strength while being as lean as you want to be by developing quality muscles.
  
  
• Age and Inertia
  
  I've seen too many people (40+ age) who sorely need some workouts but they never set foot in the gym because they think they'll end up hurting themselves. If you are one of them, then I must tell you that just as you can eat at any age, you can lift weights at any age. You just need to consult your doctor and trainer to get the best workout routine for your body. Lifting weights increases bone density. So many old people break their hip-bones etc, if you are working out, your bones become much more strong lowering the risk of fracture considerably. Don't you think that those who walk daily are more fit and stronger then those who spend their morning hours in bed and evening in in armchairs ? Well, I bet you do. Also you must agree that those who go to gym 3 days a week are much more stronger and healthier then the walkers. I hope you got my point. Go enroll in a gym now. Discuss you medical history and any problems with your doctor and trainer and get your routines/splits made. Exercise and you'll be amazed at the results.

Oh boy! I hope those were enough to get you going. Its only one hour a day you'll ever need to build your dream body. Just give it a try for one month, and you'll turn from a couch potato to a most strong, energetic, alert and dashing person.
