Why do you work out

[rickg]

With Tanks threads on pumpin' up, thought I'd toss out the question, what motivates you to work out? Is it an ego thing, or were you a wimp as a young fella that got tired of being the wimp(that's what got me going in high school), or do you just have pride in yourself and want to take care of what you have.
I never attained "Hulk" status, but was in decent enough shape that the guys on the football team in my high school were always trying to recruit me when they saw me working out in the weight room 3 times a day. I got a kick out of turning them down(no interest in sports), but still being able to keep up with them in the weight room (And out do alot of them) But I kinda lost my motivation when I hit about 30. Now I've kinda joined the other side so to speak
