As a trainer, I like to get inside the head of each client. Each person holds a different set of reasons as to why they are coming to see us, and I try my best to find them out. For obvious reasons, I ask each client about their health history, exercise past, and fitness obstacles. . . but I also like to ask other types of questions to bring out the core of how they truly "feel" about being active. One such hypothetical question that I often ask is "If you could always have the body you desire and total fitness without the need to exercise or be active, would you still do it?" Many times when I ask this, people need a minute to think about it. . . they probably have never thought of this before since (lucky for me) it is rarely the case. So, for this article, my clients and friends are the author; I asked them this question and wanted to share some of their responses with you. Anything you see in bold in their comment it is me butting in (imagine that!) to correct any mis-information or add my two cents. Enjoy!

Probably the most flattering thing of all is that when I asked several people this question, they replied that they would have said no before they started their programs with us, and now they are HOOKED. . . yeah! It was nice to hear that most people who exercise don't find it such a chore and actually look at it as a reward to themselves. So, now I ask you. . . .what is your answer?
