I finally met someone else who works out for the same reasons that I do.

I was having a totally random discussion with a friend of mine who admitted that the reason why he works out is the same as Lester in American Beauty.

Lester Burnham: I figured you guys might be able to give me some pointers. I need to shape up. Fast.
Jim Olmeyer : Are you just looking to lose weight, or do you want increased strength and flexibility as well?
Lester Burnham : I want to look good naked!

It felt good knowing that I wasn’t alone in this. Sure there’s that eating healthy and exercizing to live longer. But really, who is that focused on living longer? I personally would like to enjoy life along the way. Enjoy life with a nice perky bottom.

I am not one of those crazy people that spends their life at the gym. I used to do cardio once or twice a week but now I am into pilates. I do about 5-10 minutes everyday. That combined with being a good vegetarian is preventing office chair ass spread.

Eventually I will give in and let gravity take its toll. But not now. I don’t want to be one of those people that looks good for their age. I’d rather just be someone who looks good.
