Here at That's Fit, we're constantly telling you what we think about things, but sometimes it's nice to know what you think. So from time to time, we'll ask you a question. Don't be afraid to speak up -- we love feedback.

Exercise has lots of benefits; it helps you maintain a healthy weight, aids in weight loss, generates/sustains energy and reduces your risk of many chronic conditions/diseases. Recently, for example, a study revealed active people are 24 percent less likely to develop colon cancer.

But when it comes down to it -- what really makes you lace up your shoes and get out there? Do the random news pieces about this reduced risk or that reduced risk inspire you? Or is it a more internal reward that you're seeking?

Which exercise benefit is most motivating for you?
Reduced risk of chronic conditions/diseases.10 (8.6%)
The boost in energy.3 (2.6%)
Help with weight maintenance/loss.45 (38.8%)
How good it makes me feel about myself.56 (48.3%)
Other. Tell us in the comments.2 (1.7%)
