Let's be honest, if you don't go the gym and hone your body into the best shape it can possibly be you're doing it wrong. I can't fathom anymore the mindsets of people who don't go the gym, of people who are content with being average and unremarkable. I've been going the gym for just over a year now and I can honestly say it's completely changed the way I view life.
brb strong as hell
brb in great shape
brb working out inspired me to keep a healthy diet
brb stand out from the crowd
brb respect from guys, girls wanting my body
brb much more confident
Used to stay inside all day playing games, writing fan fiction (the fact that at one point I was writing 3 Halo fan fictions on this site says it all really) and being depressed with my life. Almost as soon as I started working out the bouts of depression I used to have completely vanished, I realised there was more to life than gaming and internet and started going out. Now a year later I'd consider myself an extrovert.

Why don't you work out and why doesn't your body look as good as mine? If you do and it does, good for you.

I don't think that someone has to achieve their physical perfection to be happy with their life, so I disagree with you on that. However, I understand the different viewpoint on life. I have always been a happy and optimistic person, but ever since I started my workout on June 1st of this year, I've been even happier. The thing is, I don't go to the gym. I do sit ups, push ups, pull ups, and practice different martial arts. I've been studying a lot of those arts and hopefully I can glean these skills to my schoolwork, I'm not great at studying academically. But that may change. For those who are working out: Good job and keep going. For those of you who used to work out and stopped: Get back on it! Why did you stop in the first place? For those of you who haven't started yet: DO IT!
