When your younger (Elementary School Days) you don't really understand or care about being as physically fit as one can be. But as you get into high school it turns into some sort of contest. I Remember the first year of high school the gym teacher makes you do tons of weight lifting and running to get you in the zone after you gain a couple of pounds goofing off in the summer. Once you get used to it it becomes a ....pissing contest. Anyway i made my mind up a year ago that i wanted to be the best i could be. 'Strict Diet' Work out and maintain.

Do any of you get that drive that makes you want to be the best as you could possibly be?
Do you think having a 6 pack and ripped biceps make's you better?
Are you, a fitness freak like i am?

*looks at his stomach seeing his rib cage*



I think if I tried working out I'd be a fleshy skeleton. =/


I'd love to be fit but my metabolism drains my food before I can gain any fit to get muscle with...

I'm not a fitness freak, but I DO wish I could be in shape.  Unfortunately, I'm missing that drive for some reason and I can't quite fathom how to get it.  I don't think there's anything wrong with people who DO want a six pack, as long as they don't take it to unhealthy extremes.

No im not a fitness freak but i do care abotu my body. I like to have a little bit of abs if so all of them. 

I'm not exactly a fitness freak, but I have to do a daily fitness/strengthening routine in order to keep my motor functions. So, other people may think I am. But for me it's more a necessity than me doing it just for the heck of it.

Sadly no, I really would like to take more care of my appearance, I really would like to learn to reject some things.

I've had the drive since I was 15. I'm constantly motivated to improve my fitness from my martial arts classes.

I wouldn't say being "super-fit" counts for anything, it's more about going beyond your physical capabilities of performance.

I don't like being a "Gym Nut".
I have a job that required me to study how to maintain my body due to the fact that it is very labor intensive. Each person is required to lift, sort, inventory, and place 20,000 pounds of product everyday. Eventually you start spending allot of money on food. At one point I spent around $600.00 dollars a month just to maintain my weight of a mere 145 pounds. My target weight was 150-155 pounds. I love being a physically capable person. I hate being poor because of it. If I were to skip a meal it would cost me my ability to perform adequately. The most I've seen on results are looking like a teenager at age 30. Not some Muscle bound super star like you'd imagine. Still though its nice to know I can do more with a minutes worth of time than the average person. I just wish I could take a break from the routine of it all. Everyday is exactly the same. I'm trapped. Video games are a great distraction. They give me something to do when I'm board. They also inspire me to include a couple of different procedures with my job to include cool looking movements or brain enhancing skills. (Typically the movements are martial arts and the skills are problem solving and numerical computations.) Maintaining my weight was a study that became a need, due to the fact that my life depended on it. So, I had to look up Words like "Calories" and "Diets" to discover what different foods did to me aside from making me feel better before sleeping and looking in the mirror. The discoveries I made there were fun but I still prefer to not know I have a mild allergic reaction to tomatoes that results in occasional pimples. I would love to be in the dark about needing to eat at least 150 grams to 2-3 pounds of meat every day to maintain my Weight. I miss not knowing that Meat was the most highly regulated item in the "super market". (Its almost as if "Someone" wants the average person to look unhealthy if you read the contents labels on food Items.) I miss not knowing what muscle groups I'm working out when I do any/every activity. Though I am happy to report that I do at least get paid to suffer through a workout and count reps. That's about it. I don't get any special looks from the women I want to notice. And I get little encouragement to continue. Because my body just looks younger instead of getting overtly massive, when I workout, its like being stuck in a "time warp". You get "carded" buying soda for pity sake. I'll be happy the day a machine is invented to make my job not so physically brutal. Maybe then I'll stop looking for ways to get grey hair. My Job Sucks.
Good Luck To All.
Peace.

Sairek Ceareste : You're actually lucky and unlucky at the same time. You're an ectomorph by your description. To gain muscle you will have to eat a very large amount of calories everyday. But once you get that muscle, any extra fat gained will easily be burned off because of your high metabolism. One trick to get bigger as an ectomorph is to drink a whole lot of whole milk.

I wouldn't consider myself a freak, but I do try to arrange my schedule so I can workout 3 times a week.

I feel like that might end up being be when I am older, because everyone always talks crap about how weak I am. I have the motivation, but I would really need a drive to do it. Right now, I am not a fitness freak at all though

I'm not a fitness freak but i might be when i get older maybe at my 20s

I wouldn't class myself as a fitness freak, but I do like to stay in shape.
I find a set routine workout, one I do every morning and evening keeps me fit.
But I don't push myself to do more than I have to, just enough to keep me in good condition.

No I'm not a fitness freak.. I'm if anything the opposite.... I guess I don't have that "spirit" to be the best there ever was.. (maybe it's because I hate Pokémon) 

Either way I do love to play sports though.. So I guess I do get roughly about 6 hours of physical exercise a week.. Which of course doesn't count the time I spend walking around and stuff..

As for getting a six pack and massive muscles.. I'd rather not.. I don't like being the center of attention.. In face the less attention the better.. Last thing I need is for some punk to start a fight with me because I look tough.
