Do you train for HEALTH or VANITY?

[theraskal]

I think most WeightLifters train for VANITY, even the HuskyFats who try to convince themselves they "train for strength" because they still think looking strong like Bluto is mogging

the people who train for HEALTH are doing things like Moderate Walking and Tai Chi, not lifting HEAVY WEIGHTS or chasing the BodyBuilding Dream

[theraskal]

VANITY is my reason for exercise. I'll expire when it's my time, regardless of food/drink/exercise....but before then, I want to look good :P

[Ripper908]

enjoyment now but in my early years vanity

[bsrkoacar2]

Everybody trains for ego. Strength to be strong. Big for vanity. Health for the fear of aging and dying....

[GaryRidgway]

I don't even know anymore

[YaBoyyDavid]

Vanity, definitely

[SuicideGripMe]

Building muscle is for health... Muscle decreases as we age, maintaining levels of strength and muscle as we get older is a huge health boon in injury prevention and longevity. But yeah, don't neglect walking or the ability to get up off the floor.

I train so I don't get diabetes, srs. I will get diabetes within a few years if I ever stop. There is no way I could maintain relatively low bodyfat with the moderate exercise you list in the op.

[Hypernation]

Both

[Reserrection]

Health

[4Bertuzzi4]

Health and bloatlording

[zeppl1n]

vanity

[Skirrel]

health, but vanity is a result of that. my definition of vanity is just being lean, having a non-bloated face, muscular shoulders, thin waist, no need to look bulky

lifting weights, walking helps with the above and help you get good sleep

[GaloisTheory]

I don't train at all

[Samraiwise]

I train for both mental and physical self-confidence.

I want to believe in myself.

The day I quit training will be the day I quit life and I'm not a quitter.

The only thing I quit was smoking.

[eddiehaskell]

if we boiled it down to health only (longevity/free of disease/ease of movement, etc)...men would likely be striving to have the body of a swimmer or cyclist or some nature loving hippy that hikes mountains all the time. average man something like 150-160lbs with pretty low fat, good endurance and eating just enough food to maintain that weight...probably with a good mix of fruits and veggies.

in the modern world where vanity rules, that would be labeled twink status though.

[Irezumi]

Healthy...stopped doing the bulk and cut routine a few years back. Just eating clean, staying active, and being lean all year.

[sam212]

Neither now, mostly my mental health and sanity.

[Cragen12]

Obviously vanity. **** being "healthy" I wanna look good naked. "Healthy" is what slobs like to tell themselves they are as some sort of consolation for looking like chit, srs.

[Legz422]

Both health and vanity.
