Why I workout?

I go to the gym usually about 3 times a week, sometimes more and sometimes less. There are many reasons why I workout. Besides the fact that it is fun for me and gives me something to do, it also relieves my stress and anxiety. The gym helps me blow off some steam whenever I feel stressed or overwhelmed with things in my life. It also helps me focus on something besides all the worries and problems I might be facing these days. I've been working out for a year now and it has really paid off for me. I go to this small gym in my town called Valencia and it is probably the cheapest gym in all of New York. Sometimes when I go with my friends and they lift heavier weights than me, I may get tempted to try to exceed them and lift even heavier weights. Althought I know that I can't be the strongest man in the world, its just one of those guy things. Working out has also improved my health because I now tend to eat more healthier and more often than before. Of course, I can't deny the fact that I do have a desire to get more muscular and stronger, but I try not to obsess over that. Besides that, going to the gym is an activity for me that I enjoy doing for fun. Instead of watching t.v. all day when I'm bored I hit the gym.
