Besides runner's high, my period is shorter/lighter, I have better skin, feel more confident and fit better into my old clothes!

It helps me get in touch with my body. I feel healthier more confident and sexier. It also helps me with my depression.

It makes me feel good knowing I am building muscle and it is eating at the fat LOL I also feel better -- not so slugish. But I can't work out past 6:30-7:00pm or I don't sleep and before I go to work forget it. so my window to workout is when I get home (5:15-5:30pm) work out for 60min then hot shower relax and in bed by 9:30 to sleep like a baby

I like feeling sore!! It reminds me that I worked really hard and that I'm making myself stronger! Today I have a small ache all over from last night's workout and I LOVE it!

I feel like we are all part of a club--the rest of the world is sleeping while we are out taking care of ourselves!

I feel that too! More precisely I remember the feeling of not belonging to that club, that people were out there living their lives in a way I couldn't. And now I'm right there with them! Everybody else is dragging themselves out of bed, nursing a hangover, or bingeing on pancakes and I'm out there doing something healthy and fun. I love being in the athlete's club!

That is so true. It's like you can see each other as you pass and you don't even have to say anything to know that you both understand how good it feels to be active.
