Regarding your comments and question:

• In our series of discussions on the various aspect of exercise.
  Lets take today to focus on why we exercise,
  it can be a serious or silly reason, no wrong answers here,
  we are looking for honesty
  
  I exercise because ….

I exercise because:

• modern life has eliminated the need to move much at all
• people sit for hours and hours
• then their muscles don't need or want the blood sugar
• so the muscles become resistant to insulin
• then people start getting type 2 diabetes
• so now many people worldwide develop type 2 diabetes
  due to their modern lifestyle
• and they also gain weight due to effects of insulin resistance
  so many people globally are significantly overweight
  and a large amount of fat compared to muscle
• the fat gets stored in very unhealthy places in the body
  like the liver and in the arteries
• overall the end result becomes a very vicious cycle
  so
• the only way to overcome it is to regularly exercise the muscles
• then the muscles will start accepting insulin and blood sugar
  properly again
• then the blood sugar won't be mostly stored as fat like before

So that is one of the main reasons I exercise.

Modern life requires one to intentionally work the muscles regularly
because otherwise the muscles will get very little workout
and a vicious cycle will start that, over time,
leads to type 2 diabetes and
other major health problems
including mental health problems.

I exercise because

.it helps with all my mental issues.

.keeps me in shape and healthy.....ish.

.boosts my mood and mindset.

I need to focus on more than just stress and daily life

I exercise because it makes me feel better about myself throughout the day!

I excercise because it motivates me.

.

Because it keeps my anger in check and occasionally gives me a reason to stay alive. Granted Im not as strong as I should be despite the absurd effort I exert every day, but my puny body wont stop being puny unless it gets used to being run to the ground. Although if I were in any other body, I'd enjoy it much more

I exercise because metabolic syndrome is impacting my health on many fronts and I need to reduce body fat and thereby reduce insulin resistance. I know my symptoms will receed at least in part. I ha e been here before bit this time and older and maybe going through other changes.

It needs to happen.
