Look, let's not fuck around and act like if it had no benefits minus muscle growth that everyone would still do it. Obviously the only reason to work out is because it does other things for you. Very, very few people are working out just to do the literal particular activity.

The irony is, the people who are really successful at it do it for exactly that. If you rely on secondary goals it can be a poor motivator. if you hate every workout but you're just hoping that eventually you'll look good, you'll quit.

I always use surfers as an example of this. Have you ever met a surfer who did surfing for the sake of physical fitness, or training, or looking good? Hell no, they just do it because they love it so much. They get fit and attractive basically by accident.

That's the best way to do it. Find something you enjoy enough that spending 4-6 hours a week doing it is actually interesting enough to keep up.
