Ways to justify our obsession

[anaklio]

I had a friend who was very critical of us working out. He felt that if we lived properly (e.g., working instead of driving) we wouldn't need to work out. This friend and I were very good a finding compromises and solutions. We were able to solve this one in a unique way. The key is to somehow tie all of our exercise machines and free weights into a transformer. This transformer would then power the gym (provide heat, a/c, and electricity). We could thus enjoy our obsession without damaging the environment.

People workout for all kinds of different reasons and often for multiple reasons and not just one. I always thought it would be cool to hook every piece of exercise equipment in a gym up to an electric generator or better yet actually design new equipment that are generators. Then when people workout the at the club they generate electricity that can power all the lights and airconditioning etc... so the gym operates cheaper. Also customers can hook their electric cars up to the club to get "charged" while they are inside working out. maybe that could be another revenue source for the club owners too... haha. Anyways, maybe equip that's really generators would be a decent source of extra electricity for the club.

By working out, gaining knowledge, and winning the goals we set for ourselves in becoming fit, we can obtain peace of mind and further our faith in Jesus Christ.

For me, my reasons are simple. I want to make men half my age jealous of my size and strength! lol Plus seeing the look on my girlfriends face when i take my shirt off is PRICELESS.

I am able to justify the time spent by the fact that my hobby is improving me as a human being. Physically, obviously, but emotionally as well. I am much more tolerable for my wife to be around after I have gotten rid of my stresses and the days aggression in the basement or on the field. And I trust that it will help me be a better a better father someday as well.

Weight lifting has been a true blessing in my life. When i am training, all concerns in my life are left out side the gym. Its a place for me to escape and spend quality ME time.
