Over the course of roughly 2 years now I've gone from sitting around not doing anything to having a regular workout routine. But over the course of this time, my goals have changed with my progress.
This got me thinking about the general community of us Escapists: How do you work out? Why do you work out? Do you even work out at all?
Personally, I started working out for health concerns. 6 straight years of sitting on my rear end doing nothing (and within those years, at least 2 were spent eating nothing but chips and pizza and drinking nothing but soda pop) was really getting to me. I started to get scared of diabetes or any other disease. It's what got me into working out. But then I started to work out for the purposes of getting fit. My first goal was "I want to climb a flight of stairs without being winded". Once I achieved that, it became primarily about just getting into a routine and having fun doing it.
How about you guys?
