Like music and art, love of nature is a common language that can transcend political or social boundaries.
My motivation was I wanted to look like my favorite super heroes when I was a kid. Pretty cheesy, but that is what got me started.
When I first started lifting I wanted to be a Super Hero. . But that was my motivation. I was huge into comics at a very young age and nothing made me feel better than helping people. So I wanted to build muscle to be like Superman, Captain America, Wolverine, etc.
The biggest mistake I see people make is they are not on the right program. You should be circuit training and performing cardio 4-6 days a week (depending on time).
Try to stick to free weights as much as possible as they work the stabilizers as well as the main muscles being targeted!
My favorite muscle to train is TRICEPS! Always has been my stongest muscle group as well.
For me, my core focus has always been to help others so what drives me to keep doing this is the fact that I can continue to learn to coach others such as yourself. You might not be a fitness trainer, or maybe you are, but you need to find that CORE reason that will keep you going forever.
Nobody got anything great by playing it safe.

When I was three, I wanted to be four. When I was four, I wanted to be prime minister.
