Yep.

Wife and I both work out and really notice if it we have to take a week or two off. Just feel better and honestly find that it's good for our marriage to go to the gym together.

for a lot of people it's narcissism though - plenty of people talking (or posting) about their new max bench press or posting up shirtless selfies.

Probably a little bit of both. In the narcissism sense, not much different than buying nice clothes, driving a decent vehicle, keeping a nice haircut, etc. Just takes more time and effort.

I want to look good now, the extra strength and endurance can be helpful at times, but I also don't want to end up a fat old man with bad knees and a bad back who gets winded walking to the end of the driveway to get the paper.

One needs a motiviation to stay fit:

1. Physical job

2. General health/fitness for life, particularly later in life

3. Vanity

Any of these or a combination are 100% of most people's motivation for exercising.


Replace physical job with physical hobbies and that's pretty much my motivation in a nutshell.

I also bought some grass fed whey protein powder. Hopefully it's good

Both.

I'm a narcissist because I work out and in pretty good shape compared to most people.
