Preview

    1. You will definitely feel better after the workout is done

    0

    Healthy endorphins...ahhhhh...

    2. You have to do something to make (or see) a difference in your health

    0

    This is a non-negotiable to maintaining health.

    3. The nutrients from you food will make a bigger difference to your overall health

    0

    Eating healthy food will help with your process of building a better body. Don't waste those nutrients on a sedentary lifestyle.

    4. Your appetite will be less

    0

    This is how working out affects me. Your experience may vary.

    5. You will eat with less guilt

    0

    This is a weird/unhealthy construct that my brain has developed over the years, but on days I work out, I just feel better about eating.

    6. You are taking a step closer to your goal weight

    0

    You want to be a certain weight, or at least not gain more as you age, right?

    7. You are helping yourself maintain muscle through middle-age

    0

    Muscle loss is a real thing. The only thing you can really do to help slow that process is to work out regularly with weights.

    8. You are helping to maintain/generate testosterone

    0

    This is a "feel good" hormone that declines with age. Weight lifting, pushups, strength training will give you a boost.

    9. You will focus better on work tasks

    0

    This probably has to do with the feel-good hormones, or maybe just the sense of accomplishing something physical carries into the mental tasks you need to do for the day.

    10. Your future self will thank you for it

    0

    You don't want to look back on your life and see yourself on the computer, on your phone, on social media, and think, "why wasn't I at least trying to maintain muscle back then? I'm old, hunched, and in pain. Why didn't I just do a little maintenance to avoid this fate?"
