Well... trying not to duplicate any of the above (which is tough :lol:):

Keeps me sane on rough weeks at school :P

I really enjoy the challenge of continually getting better :up:

One BIG factor here: It keeps you away from inactivity, which is a silent killer in and of itself.

It's no secret, that such work can help out the following:

Muscle tone

Blood pressure

LDL / Cholesterol count

Cardio conditioning

Lung capacity

I was inactive for a year+. Even though the weight stayed the same, it's amazing how much the BP and LDL counts shot up during that year of inactivity. The levels are returning back to normal (taking BP meds, but no cholesterol meds), and I vowed never to enter such a state of inactivity ever again.
