Do you think more women?

I agree with both Shamma and Theresa.

I think women should be motivated to work out for their OWN health and happiness. Exercise has been proven not only to be good for you physically, but emotionally as well, and it's supposed to help PMS! Looking awesome as a result is simply an added bonus to all the other benefits. But a lot of younger women (early 20s) really don't think about health yet and are more concerned with body image alone. Either way, exercise does a body good!

Theresa, I agree that too many people get married and then stop trying to look good. They settle in and feel like the 'chase' is over. Soon enough, their sagging bodies go hand in hand with a sagging self esteem and a sagging sex life. Not to mention sagging health and energy!

I don't think our DHs should push us to exercise. I think a woman should WANT to do it, to keep herself feeling good and looking attractive. So many women (and men!) let themsevles go. DH and I have promised each other that we will take good care of ourselves for each other, and for our own health.

It's not always easy to stick with it though!!!!

After Sept 11th the only thing that got me over my fear, and worry and anxiety was exercising, people kept saying they could not believe that I was going to the gym 'at a time like this' what was I supposed to do? go home and look at the repetitive telelvision stations, showing the planes and the building and more people and bodies and sad stories?? I don't think so. I think the way some people break their necks to go home and look at the beautiful people on tv they should make dates with themselves to go out walking and get from in front of the stupid box.

AMEN! Shamma.


I wonder if anything good is on tonight???

we work out together
never thought of it as sexy though lol
just as convenient

We go to the gym together, but work out separately. It bugs the H E L L out of me when he gets on my case about going, especially when I am all PMSing and I have cramps.

FH and work out together, we both have some weight we would like to lose (him more than me, but both of us nonetheless). We want to be healthier. FH has a history of heart problems in his family, so I encouraged him to join a gym with me and break the heart attack trend. His mother loves me for this, too, because she worries about him and a potential heart problem (FH's father is a big guy, too, and has had heart trouble. FH is built lik dad)



We do it together for our health. Looking good is just a bonus
