I started working out a month after my 21st birthday. I broke up with my girlfriend of 4 years after finding out she was seeing another guy. After 4 years of being committed to one person and feeling like I lost everything, I did the opposite of what people usually do in a situation like this. I needed to put myself back out there. I needed to reinvent myself.

It helps create self confidence. I'm more energized and put in a better mood because I work out and go to the gym. Watching my body grow and change right in front of my eyes is just a whole other feeling. Its a great shocker to some people who haven't seen you in a while and then all of a sudden your not that little guy a few years back. Overall, its a better lifestyle to have compared to just sitting at home, eating processed foods and just being a couch potato
