Everything is about sex, money and power. Are you too stupid to think for yourself?

only to kikes
the 3 aryan values are family, power and spirituality

Of course not. But some girls finally realized if they put a little work into their body, literally just not being fat, they could up themselves from a 4 to a 6 or even a 7

Fitness really isnt that hard to achieve. I dropped 45 pounds in like 5 months, which wouldve been more if not for the holidays.

Also, roasties are the laziest species on earth and would wear nothing if they could get away with it

I don't get why people go to the gym to workout. Why can't people just find some heavy shit and lift it at home or whatever, or go jogging outside. The entire world is a gym if you're not lazy

You are both forgetting about food.
Tasty tasty food.

Partly yes.

Its also partly about how the food industry loads people up with a short on of artificial preservatives flavorings, and other chemicals that belong nowhere in the human body that causes people to get addicted and balloon up.

Seriously look it up. Most of the food industry is run by a handful of conglomerates

It's all about the superficial, they don't care if they're fat or not, healthy or not, but fat chicks don't get as much attention or sex, so they all are "health obsessed" until they get married, at which point almost all of them stop caring and get fat. My half sister did exactly that. It's all about appearance to keep their sexual value as high as possible until some poor faggot puts a ring on her finger then it's all over.

You can build as entire home gym for under $1000 just by getting them second hand off craigslist. People buy overpriced equipment, use it like 5 times and sit on it for a few years then sell for dirt. I built my own home gym so I can have everything I need with the added bonus of privacy and convenience.

A lot of my friends run, ride bikes but still are out of shape, while I eat properly and do physical work innawoods and am in a better shape they will ever be. It's just stunting for social media - "look at me, I do fitness, I am so cool"

Current? When has there not been a fitness craze.

Hey. Always money to be made getting people fit. A friend from college I hadn't seen in a while is now working as a personal trainer.

No, it's hedonism and narcissism, especially when related to women in fitness.

Why even build a gym? Just find heavy shit and lift it, what's the fucking difference

How are they out of shape? What are they doing wrong?

No. It's about vanity.

Bsically this: You should also remember that being healthy and physically capable (i.e. lift a big weights, run long distances etc.) are not the same things. And the better your results are the more damage your'e doing do your body (together with the positive effect).

Lots of people that casually go to the gym (2-3 days a week, and don't take it particularly seriously) or get in some cardio, treadmill, bike, swimming, whatever, but then they eat disgusting amounts of processed/unhealthy foods.

A couple I know does this, they go to the gym like 4-5 days a week, but they chat up friends there and fuck around, then they come home and order chinese food or pizza and drink a fruit juice smoothy with like 50g of sugar. They're not obese but they're fluffy, like they're not toned or aesthetic looking people.

Typical American philistine. The only thing approximating the attitude we have today regarding physical fitness could be found in elements of humanist ideal of mens sana in corpore sano. But it hardly manifested itself the way it does today. This is trivial and did not represent a trend in society.
Other than that, the modern fitness movement only began in the early 20th century and really became popular in the 50s and 60s. At the very least, it wasn't until the 60s and 70s that people actively began to turn fitness into a lifestyle. Tellingly, until the 50s and 60s, tanned skin was still associated with the lower classes: manual labourers and peasants, people who worked outdoors. It's only later, as people began to indulge more and more in leisure time, that tanned skin came to represent the higher classes, since only these could afford the time to lounge in the sun instead of working. Fitness followed a similar trajectory.

Yes, but it's also narcissism. The similarities between human behaviour today and the behaviour of mice in the behavioural sink are quite striking.

People need a clear goal in life, and after high school and college that kind of stops. So they flock to fitness because it's something with clear progression and goals.

For a lot of people it's about showing off how fit and healthy they live for their goybook pages and stuff and most of the time they are neither of those two, see every single person doing crossfit. If done right though it certainly is healthy or at least healthier than doing absolutely nothing and eating crap all day.

Most people are like describes them, running/biking a few kilometers once a week won't cut it if you really want to be fit, first of all, to be fit healthy, eating good healthy food is way more important than working out in my opinion and the workout has to be at least semi-serious and not some weak-ass, uncoordinated shit.

Also most people do this stuff in groups so they can find the motivation for it, which is the wrong approach in my opinion, I started working out and quit several times taking this or a similar approach, the final time when it actually worked, I approached it with the mindset that I am going to do this for the entire rest of my life, stuff like this will never stick if you aren't able to do it on your own and during almost any weather condition.

i think it's annoying. at least this lifting craze is annoying. dude bro lets hit up the gym again! just do some fucking pull ups. i remember in the 90s when male vanity like this was for homosexuals

i don't think that explains it, i mean up until ~5 years ago we weren't in this fanatic gym culture we're in now. I remember what shit was like in the 90s and early 2000s, no one cared about fitness like they do now, i mean there were fit people, but it was more niche, probably represented 5% of the population, then around maybe 2012-2014 we hit this fitness craze where it became trendy to workout. In my smallish town for example, we used to have one shitty gym, then around 2013 suddenly 3-4 new gyms opened up

rough looking head on it

because both men and woman for the obama yeas got really degenerate and out of shape. as the conditioning is broken and people move more right over the next term we gotta get to the gym. lift until someone loves you user

>"Tee hee, I wonder if this face I'm making makes me look cute? Hopefully Brandon will notice."

I like the current fitness trend, it means more gyms have nicer equipment in an attempt to set them apart. It also means more locally owned niche gyms - I got a membership to one walking distance from my place, very convenient and affordable.

That said, I'd rather there weren't so many damn normies milling about when I'm trying to hit a big lift. I can't count the times I've had a danger close when some oblivious idiot walked near me doing an explosive lift.

If I provoke a human being he will naturally get angry. The traditional response was to direct that anger at the source of the frustration. People are now conditioned to turn their frustration inward, believing that through self-improvement, they will find happiness (despite the abuse continuing). We now have a self-improvement culture (which includes health & fitness) that is a result of this reconditioning. I can now take a person's happiness and sell it back to them through temporary dopamine and serotonin releases

He needs some milk...

Bad discipline, they need to be in the right environment or they get distracted. There's also pressure not to half-ass, we have a membership so we can take our toddler swimming but sometimes I'll go hit a treadmill and when some old lady has been running since before you got there and is still running when you feel like stopping it pushes you a little further

1. space
2. the amount of equipment you can use at a gym means you again, would need a FUCK TON of space in your home to get the ability to work out the same.
3. cheaper to pay a membership than buy all that equipment
4. social interaction. Depends on the type of person you are (personally i go on off hours so the gym feels like it's all mine)

and that's that

Oh really there is a craze going on? that might explain why i see more and more manlet fucbois and retarded gym thots invading my gym.

Yesterday there was some very young girl like 13 y/o doing thot excersizes on the laying leg curl doing hip thrusts with the back end.

why is it always a shot showing skin tight clothes, cleavage, yoga pants straight up an asscrack, or fuckin cameltoe? for the attention!

I don't know about Africa and Asia but in Europe and white countries in general sports and fitness always was an important thing. Strongest people are always white (And yes, not black, I don't know who created that joke), take a look at Iceland, really. And it was always like that, in Nibelungenlied one of the ways for a hero to show his power was of course to participate in some kind of sport competition. Siegfried helped his friend Gunter with getting a wife through winning a competition with Brunhilde.

It's about meeting waman.

One day I will gas all attention whores.

because you have all equipment you'll need, trainers to help you if you're fuck up, socialization, and ofcourse, putting stupid pictures on social media

>going to the gym to "socialize"
Nigga what the fuck

some people do that, I usually don't talk unless I see somebody I know, but some people start talking with people they don't know in gym

>only bother being fit for the purposes of anime larping and sexual appeal
>no social media, no intention to marry anyone
Being able to strut around in a bikini looking like a god and getting the fatties' panties twisted is great smug fuel. All you have to do to look good as a woman is take care of your skin/hair, cut to goal weight and maintain there, and exercise now and then for some firmness. Arguably you don't even need to exercise. What can be easier than eating less? Less food I have to buy and cook, less food I have to haul home and pay for, less time spent on eating and cleaning up after. A month after I decided to go on a cut the pants that used to be tight on me are now baggy to the point I'll have to buy a new pair soon. Easiest shit in the world.
It takes effort to be fat.

>starting a sentance with "Nigga"
fucking nigger.

Because people don't have space for gym equipment in their home, dont have money to buy barbells, power rack, and plates or w/e else they need, and because "lifting heavy shit" isn't as efficient or gives the same results as having a barbell, dumbbells, etcyou can adjust weight on.

It's because running and biking are cardio and don't build muscle. Lifting things and doing manual labor does.

it's always the fucking Jews dude haven't you learned???

>DUDE just run around and lift your fridge and coffee table LMAO

jelous looks from lazy females are good too, but health is in first place. I eat good whatever I want and train, it's better than starving yourself

>Implying a skinny neet from Jow Forums who hasn't lifted a day in his life can lift a fridge

The attitude here is extremely petty btw. There is absolutely nothing wrong with people being more health conscious and wanting to get fit. Not only is it more aesthetically pleasing to look at when society isn't full of fat, slug like amerilards waddling around or riding mobility scooters, but there are countless long term health benefits. I can't think of one good reason why you would be against fitness and health except pettiness and jealousy.

I'm really starting to hate the sight of yoga pants. They're an awful combination of trashy and yuppie at the same time.

This craze has been going on since Jersey Shore first came on our screens with their GTL shit.
For guys, it's half competing with other guys to be the biggest bro, and half to get laid more often.
For women, I honestly think 90% of them go just so they can put it on their instagram/facebook for thirsty beta likes.

>t. virgin

>guys i think im turning gay

t.atheist

>Why go to a gym that has incrementally increasing weights for you to track your progress when you can just lift random shit around your house and hope for the best!

I did the body weight, simple equipment, "spartan" approach for years, that's how I was programmed to stay fit after all. I thought I was in good shape when I was in the Army, now I got my gym and 10 months later I'm wishing I had been more open to this kind of equipment years ago. The equipment can be used in ways that makes it easy and efficient to work certain muscle groups that are a pain in the ass to work any other way. It's just more efficient. Better results with more time to do other things with your life.

Fitness? No. But bodybuilding is vain and can become life consuming very quickly. "Only 40 mins 3 times a week xD" tards are full of shit

with all these McGyms on every corner it seems obvious all this workout signaling is as deep as the façade on a strip malls Snap 24, or whatever it's called. Was a time when it took real effort to stay lean. It wasn't unheard of to see people running in 20 degree F temps, through blinding snow, and dodging plow trucks. The cunt in pic would drop dead after one circuit of my hill run.

I want this broad’s name, instagram and twitter plox

I have always hated them, even on women I thought were attractive they just made them look like trashy whores.
Skin tight black pants look objectively worse than almost every other kind of pants.

Soon enough you'll all come over to Jow Forums you fucking incels.

>tfw this poor neet spends a good portion of his life prancing around his house trying to bench press his car and doing pull ups from the light fixtures to avoid paying $14 a week to join a gym

I'm working out but I'm doing it for myself, not for these roasties

I tied 2 sticks to my bedframe and lean one end of them on the door so I have a pullup bar

have any alternatives? Shorts?

For men, it's about attracting women, because simply having a job is not good enough anymore.

For women, it's about social media likes... correct me if I'm wrong here

Fuck that, i'm with him on this one. I'm tired of every woman I see displaying their camel toe and sticking their ass out like a mandrill in heat. I can't wait till the fad of attention seeking twitter and instagram thots endlessly posting yoga pants selfies comes to an end. I must be getting old, why can't white women have even a modicum of modesty? I'm more attracted to a nice summer dress than I am skin tight thot pants I can see a girls clitoral erection in.

eh, it's easier to go to a gym with all the equipment you need.

some though (like the current fitness ho craze on insta) just want people to notice them. in my mind, anyone wearing a fitbit isn't necessarily interested in being healthy, they want to look like they are.

No, that’s why they all do some “80 day challenge” and overexaggerate about how hard they worked.

I eat good, but I also eat on a deficit. It's not mutually exclusive. A fully rigged salad has all of like 200 cals if you don't use caloric dressing (just vinegar for me.)

I feel like there are rules to the selfie. Like they can claim they aren't taking themselves too seriously if they make stupid face. You would have to ask a roastie, but like the jew you won't ever get a straight answer.

no

The "fitness craze" is mostly overweight girls in fitness gear

>fitness is bad
Why? It's far better than fat acceptance movement.
But why do you hate exercuse?

Basically any pants that have flexibility and aren't extremely hot. Realistically this is almost all of the pants you have, yoga pants have no special properties that help when running compared to pants or shorts. Skin tight stretchy clothing isn't needed when doing cardio like most women do, yoga pants are for yoga and yoga only.

I once dated the hottest grill at my uni gym. Hottest chick I've ever seen in real life, really. 10/10, traffic stopping, can't leave her alone for a second without her getting hit on. I was so overjoyed at the social proof this brought, but it was ultimately shallow. She toed the line of being a controlling thot just enough for me not to dump her outright, but I suppose I was too forgiving - eventually she dumped me. I hit some hard times right after graduation, I guess she wanted a sugar daddy and she wanted it immediately. Now I either lift with my best friend or alone, refusing all social contact with females at gyms with frigid politeness. Steer away from the rocks that are gyms thots, lest your ship be dashed apart.

I did hear she got dumped by the older, more established guy she was chasing after me. Serves her right, the fucking roastie - and to think I was only unemployed for a few more months after she dumped me. Dodged a bullet by being out of work, if anything.

Lol i do pullups every now and then to stay in shape and get more pussy than any Jow Forumscels. Eternal skellyfit master race

No, i'm a total shameful degenerate, I would just rather have a cute, pretty, modestly dressed lass sit on my face than a raging, public exhibitionist thot.

fair enough, but I won't avoid meat or junk food(there is nothing wrong in eating greasy burek from time to time), I just make sure I do more cardio after
>dressing
vinegar and olive oil only
agreed, but shorts bring more attention than joga pants, but I still prefer them to joga pants

Death to the roast beast

I go because my gym lets people who identify as a women shower with the women

>He likes looking at the same thing over and over again with no regards to how it actually looks besides muh dik
I bet you stare at the same picture all day, I just don't understand how you can be satisfied with the same trashy look again and again.
Eventually you will probably grow up and be disgusted by it, but you never know.
They may bring more attention, but they look objectively better and are not trashy.

It's just a trend and most people are trendhoppers. You come across the gym a buncf of roasties and weak niggas with all new brand workout gear, but hardly working out there. They took more selfies, than barbell. That being said, there are some real badass girls out there.

it's just free market, people want to see it, and it's provided to them. Don't give attention to them and they'll stop. I don't do that though

>this is what pathetic weaklings actually believe

Close to 100% of the posts in here are borderline retarded.

People start going to the gym because they

A. Go through a bad breakup and want to improve themselves (common)
B. Have serious body image issues (rare)
C. Just want to be a sickcunt (very rare)
D. Are athletes (rare)
E. Are instagram models and want to look trendy (rare)
