Superhero
 

Ok guys so I read this on this week's postsecret and I was totally shocked because it's actually my secret too. I wanted to share it with everyone to see if anyone else out there feels the same way. The secret says "I don't work out to burn calories. I work out so that when the day comes for me to leap across train cars, climb burning buildings and duel with the bad guys, I can do it ALL." While I do exercise to burn calories a big motivating factor for me is all those superhero movies out now. I watch these individuals perform amazing feats of strength and acrobatics and I think that it is so cool. The person I really think is cool is Bruce Banner (the Hulk). I don't know why but whenever I need motivation I just think about the hulk jumping buildings and fighting bad guys and I get totally motivated. He is so badass. Anyways, I just thought I would take a minute to let out my inner nerd. Share if you feel the same!

That's a great postsecret. I also workout for ability, but I've never thought about it in the superhero sense! Sounds motivating.

I'll share a little of my inner nerd. I'm motivated my Star Trek. I would love to travel to different planets and explore the Universe. Of course, I would need to be in excellent shape to handle everything that I would encounter during my journey.

I workout to increase my chances of surviving a zombie apocolypse. It does make working out more fun.

Then you should totally check out the book Theories of International Politics and Zombies by Dan Drezner

I love both the Super Hero and the Star Trek ideas. When I am angry at people at work, I secretly think my scanner is a phaser and I am sending them to the far edge of the galaxy into a Romulan warship, so THEY can deal with them! It is very destressing and relaxing for me and always makes me laugh, which is good because then I don't eat away my stress!
