What's Your Motivation?

 We all have our reasons for exercising. It's usually not enough to simply know that we need to exercise. Most of us need a tangible or immediate reason - a goal. Here's a list of a few of the reasons for exercising - some are mine, some come from clients:


* Climbing season (that one is obviously mine!)
* Get strong enough to play basketball with my son
* I want to shovel snow - I like it! (important since this person lives in Chicago)
* My grandson
* I'm determined to get back on my bike
* Carry my groceries
* Triathalon
* Have enough energy to enjoy a shopping trip
* Get out of this chair!
* Cook Christmas dinner for my family
* Lose some of this damn chemo weight
* Breast cancer! (since exercise reduces risk of recurrence, this is a BIG motivation for me)
* I'm tired of being tired
* Get back on my feet
* I think I'd like to run a race. Do you think I could?
* Walk without a cane
* 20,000 ft. (again, that one is mine)
* I just feel better when I exercise
* To hold my son
