Why you should be fit by Jonathan K.
Fact: every one minute spent exercising returns to seven extra minutes of life gained! You tend to live a happier, fuller life when you're living a healthy lifestyle. Compared to always being down on yourself and feel insecure about your appearance, no one should have to live their life like that. I personally live a healthy lifestyle and I love it. I feel good about myself and have obtained a whole new level of confidence.
One of the three aspects to living a healthy lifestyle is exercise. You're expected to participate in at least thirty minutes of exercise a day to stay fit. You're probably wondering why thirty minutes? Well it's proven that with a minimum of thirty minutes of exercise your dopamine levels will rise which are responsible for your happiness and mood. Researchers say dopamine levels are responsible for the so called “Runners High” where when you hit a certain point in your run you feel as if you can run forever and for some reason have this weird smile on your face. Finishing a workout where you either set a new weight max or hit a new mile distance is an extremely rewarding feeling. You feel as if you can accomplish everything and anything! Keep in mind that you are going to need rest days and a set plan of action. People who just mindlessly walk around the gym tend to not get the best results, like rock hard abs!
In addition to exercise, nutrition is also a huge aspect of living a healthy lifestyle. Nutrition doesnt have to be super complicated and down to a science of calorie counting. If you're not making the appropriate food choices you're basically wasting your time in the gym. Proper nutrition isnt easy but if you find a plan you can stick with and enjoy you'll be rewarded. Yes you're going to have to work, yes you're going to have to stop being a pansy! Stick to a plan, your wife will thank you! Eating healthy doesn't always have to be gross or boring foods, there are tons of websites out there you can check out for simple to make, amazing tasting meals.
Lastly, after daily exercise and nutrition are taken care of you are going to want to avoid drinking and smoking. With drinking, if you're of age then it has to be monitored use and limited. Why do all of this hard work to just end your day by putting all these poisonous toxins into your body? Not to mention you're going to wake up feeling terrible, 100% regretting whatever you ended up doing the night before. Absolutely nothing positive can come out of smoking, all you're doing is filling your lungs with tar and skyrocketing your chances of lung cancer. The only thing that needs to be going into your lungs is fresh, outside air!
Getting started living like this is difficult, but you'll be rewarded with a happier, fuller life when you're living a healthy lifestyle. This is just like anything else you do in life, you get what you put into it, so if you're not dedicating yourself to this you're bound to get subpar or weak results. Today is the day! Get started, nothing is stopping you from making these changes! This will positively impact you for the rest of your life. Everyone in this big generation should want to live a long and healthy life.

I am not a body builder and but I love this thread to read, I am really in love and get self motivated. Since last 6 month ago I am loving a girl and meet everyday talk. But I am realizing that she is not connecting with me.
But the Sadness is that her friend trying to connecting with me and I am ignoring she. At the last moment of collage time, I realize that when luck come to you, you need to realize that.

[B]Yoga in the Spirit of Warrior [/B]
In our life, we have made everything a battle, a battle we force ourselves to fight every moment. We struggle and fight to conquer life. The more we feel that we are losing the battle, the harder we fight. The harder we fight, the more frustrated we become, ending up feeling crushed and defeated by life. We may feel that life is against us and that frustration and failure are inevitable.
Life, however, destroys nobody. It is life that has brought us here, we were born out of it. If we fight with our own source of energy, we will be destroyed not by life but by our own violence.
Seeking External Validation and Admiration
This inner violence, this misery, is created by us, by our wrong approach to life. All skills that we have accumulated are misguided and unfit to solve our fundamental problem. We all carry a deep-rooted wound of rejection. We don’t have self-respect but only self-denial, self-condemnation. To compensate for it, we crave for validation and admiration which we have been trained to look for outside of us. We have learned this psychological strategy from our parents, society and our education system to get our rightful admiration and validation for everything that we face in our life.
Fully depending on external validation, we’ve become so afraid and so out of touch with our own self that we are constantly on guard and triggered every moment to wage a war. This trembling inside is due to the deep-rooted fear of ‘I am not enough’. We cannot depend on ourselves and we have to depend upon others. To depend upon others means that we need to rely on something outside of us which is not under our control. If that which we want to hold on to is not attainable or that which we hold on to is not available all the time we struggle and fight and deplete our energy in the process.
Facing Life As It Is
Life is not against us. We are a part of it and not separate from it. We are intrinsic and organic to it. It’s impossible to conquer life – the part cannot conquer the whole. Life is very spontaneous and flows and emerges by itself. Life is a dynamic dance of energies in the outer world as well as in one’s subjective inner world. So to face life with its multidimensional ever emerging layers, we first need to attend to this unfinished business – the fight within ourselves.
Fire-Fighter or Warrior? Mastering the Art of Living
The fight we are speaking about, however, requires the quality of a warrior. A warrior, like a fire-fighter, is trained to be skillful, but he stands in the battlefield, prepared to face anything that will emerge at anytime. Nothing can be predicted. He is not in a defensive mood. If one goes to war with dragging feet just to defend oneself, defeat and disaster are certain. A mind that is always on the defensive mood cannot gather the strength and enthusiasm necessary to win a war. A heavy heart and defensive mind will shrink in every way possible. A warrior, on the other hand, is whole and complete. He is fully there and for him even his fighting is a joyful, blissful affair. The word siddha in Yoga means ‘adept’, someone who is an accomplished performer of all of life’s arts. A siddha is ever free – before, during and after the battle.
The Warrior’s Self-Respect in our Daily Practice
To qualify for this state and for the capacity of a warrior, the fire-fighter needs to transform from self-condemnation to self-respect. The immense self-respect of a warrior is necessary in our daily practice, in Yoga and in our meditation. In life, most of us don’t have the luxury of choosing our battles. At least in our yogic practice we can choose how and with which attitude we approach our inner battle.

If you cant push yourself to the limits, just think about your mother and how she pushed herself to the limits to give birth to u, lazy person.
Think about the sacrifices she made to raise u, lazy person.
Think about everything she taught you, and how much she encouraged you when u was going thru difficult times only because you're a lazy person.
Think about all these things, take a deep breath, say "f#k it" and give your best no matter what. Do it for her and show her that she didn't give up on everything only to raise you, lazy ass.
Because my mom is going thru cancer treatment, i always think about her when im training and i feel that, if i work hard, i can show her that we both gonna go thru this togheter.
