TheFinalWord Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 People who spend lots of time getting their body in prime/sexy shape are not doing it for a LTR/monogamous relationship but for lots of hook-ups/attention. Something to think about when you see yourself looking at the sexy bodies. Theoretically, that is not totally accurate. Generally, health-related goals are more extrinsic in nature at first (lose weight to look better, stop smoking to save money, etc.). Typically, extrinsic motivation transforms into intrinsic motivation over time (refer to maintenance or termination stages of the Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change by Prochaska). Once this shift in motivation occurs an individual will, for example, engage in exercise for the sheer enjoyment of the activity rather than just to look better. Exercise also releases endorphins, a sub-class of neuropeptide that block pain;as well as the neurotransmitters serotonin, dopamine, and epinephrine that act like antidepressants that elevate mood, increase energy, and create a mild euphoria. This hormone release can be a strong driver to engage in exercise. As well, physical activity reduces acute and chronic muscle tension associated with stress. When we are stressed out, our body releases hormones (cortisol) which can wear down immunity and place high demands on tissues, organs, and systems; Physical activity expends these chemicals. Exercise regimens also assist with improving one's discipline and will power, which is advantageous for many reasons. However, you are correct in that good health and physical activity routines should be seen as a means to achieve other goals in life, rather than to be an end unto themselves. In other words, physical activity should be a vehicle for achieving our life's vision. It's when people have the opposite approach that exercise can be an unhealthy endeavor.
Author kaylan Posted December 19, 2011 Author Posted December 19, 2011 (edited) Jane Fonda is in her 70s and looks fantastic. She has geared her newest DVDs to women over 50 who have never exercised but don't be fooled. She has always been fit and strong. is in her sixties and could probably snap most men like twigs. Same with this woman in her sixties. And this woman in her sixties. Women don't have to go to a gym nor look like those hideous women bodybuilders to look good. Yet if these women went on dating websites and stated their real ages, no one would contact them. If they lied and said they were in their fifties, no man would question it. Well lets be real. Noone is contacting dudes in their 50s on dating sites either lol. A lot of the older women try and kick game to young guys on these sites nowadays because they know some of us are up for a NSA romp. Plus folks in their 20s and 30s obviously make up around 85% of the online dating crowd, so folks outside those ranges generally have a harder time getting contacted or just tend to not use online dating at all. That being said, dont forget Hellen Mirren. Mid 60s and looking mighty good in a bikini. Id still hit it. Lolz http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2008/07/16/article-1035510-01F6B66400000578-643_468x815.jpg Edited December 19, 2011 by kaylan

I never said there is anything wrong with exercise, in general. I exercise in moderation myself and use it to maintain a healthy body. Unless your goal is to be a professional bodybuilder, that takes their body to the max human levels possible, getting ripped and huge is just for attention.
Author kaylan Posted December 19, 2011 Author Posted December 19, 2011 ^People who say that are usually the average pudgy folks who are jealous girls like my abs and triceps lol. Im healthy and sexy. You mad?
TheFinalWord Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 I never said there is anything wrong with exercise, in general. I exercise in moderation myself and use it to maintain a healthy body. Unless your goal is to be a professional bodybuilder, that takes their body to the max human levels possible, getting ripped and huge is just for attention. You are entitled to your opinion, however I personally think that is an unfair generalization Here are a few examples of fellas I follow who are married with kids: Darin Steen is 45 year old, drug-free natural bodybuilder: Lui Marco is a 36 year old, natural bodybuilder (my fav): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoNZHuGO23I&feature=channel_video_title Scooby is also late 40's (not sure if he's married, but he does all of his stuff for free) I think these guys have more in mind than just attention seekers! Just my personal 2 cents though.
CocoaBrown Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 If most people would cut their portion sizes and stop going back to the buffet table for seconds and thirds, they wouldn't have these problems. :lmao:
CocoaBrown Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 Seriously. Hit the gym and get sexy. Dont let the holiday pounds creep up. I know its hard for some people and I cant relate since I have a wicked high metabolism and put on muscle easily...but still give it a shot. 35 minutes a day is all you need. Alternate cardio and strength training day. Age is no excuse. Look at this brother. 60 years old with the body of guys my age. Im 25 And look at this woman. 74...better body then many women in their 20s and 30s. She started working out in her 50s! Take care of yourself guys. There is hardly EVER an excuse not to. Get sexy, Get dates. Simple P.S. - Black dont crack lol I love how young our skin can make us look lol haha@ black don't crack! I hate you for naturally having a high metabolism, but I'm proud to say I have successfully lost 83lbs and am working hard to maintain that loss. Mmmm hmmm yeah that's right! Jillian Michaels is my BEST FRIEND! Love to hate her! I have had people in my life say I only lost weight because there is a pressure to be thin and blah blah blah. (Funny those same people are the same ones who wanted to know what I was doing and seemed disappointed when I said it was the old eat right and exercise routine instead of some fad diet that includes laxatives lol) Bottom line is I was tired of sitting around not doing anything because I felt so unhealthy and grew sick and tired of being sick and tired!!! I didn't want to be looked at or touched because I didn't feel good about myself and no one should feel like that! When you are overweight your life is not the best it could be. I'm sorry it's just not. You have to take care of yourself! I have actually lost friends because eating is basically what we had in common and they started to be uncomfortable when I wasn't constantly eating anymore, choosing to have something baked rather then fried or wanting to do something active instead of sitting around. It hurt to feel people pull away, but I have found new friends who support me so I got over it!
