This is about those people going to the gym. Why go? What for?

                It’s a simple question but a very complicated one. I’ve been going  to the gym for years but i never asked anybody about that question.Why do you go to the gym? I know for a fact that answers will vary  but all I want to know  is the reason why they go? Most answers you will hear are FOR  HEALTH AND WELL BEING, others will say  “Weight loss or Weight gain.”  Another answer will be to build muscle and become Mr.Universe someday. But what about you? If you go to the gym, do you have another answer? I am very much interested to know what will be your answer. Granted those answers mentioned were valid, what other reasons could there be? The following answers that I am about to tell you are just my observations, so correct me if I’m wrong. I go to the gym because it’s my New Years resolution: to workout and be healthy. I go to the gym because it’s the trend, I saw it on TV, it’s everywhere, so I must go too. I go to the gym because after watching The Biggest Losers, I think I can loose weight too. I go the gym because my doctor advised me to. I go the gym because my friend encouraged me to workout with him. I go the gym because they told me I will find my Ms./Mr. Right at the  gym. I go to the gym because my  hot girlfriend/boyfriend goes there too. I go to the gym because  it is my school’s requirement. I go to the gym in preparation for my military ambitions:US Air Force/Marine/ Navy. I go to the gym because I want to compete and become a champion of my favorite sports. I go to the gym because I want to become a firefighter or a police officer. I go to the gym so I can be the role model for our family. I go the gym because I want to become an actor/actress someday. I go to the gym because it is a requirement for my modeling career. I go to the gym so that I can fight my age: the more I workout, the younger I feel. So these are some of my answers, I’m sure you have your own. But what is important and that is what I want you to  remember: THAT GOING TO THE GYM IS NOT BAD AT ALL. Whatever answers you have, to me it is valid because it is your own and you are responsible for it. You and you alone are entitled to your own answer and it feels good to be healthy, alive. active and strong. And finally, I go to the gym because it is my birthright. Let’s all find our answers and start putting on our shoes and shirts and let’s go THE GYM!
