Give me a philosophical reason to start lifting

Give me a philosophical reason to start lifting.

It's not a spook

The only thing you can every truly own is your body.

If it makes you happy you should do it - egoism

If it maximizes utility you should do it. If it maximizes total aggregate happiness you should do it - utilitarianism

You have the right to do it - libertarianism

But it does not really make me happy. I prefer lying on the couch

Nicht wie die Welt ist, ist das Mystische, sondern dass sie ist.

Das Gefühl der Welt als begrenztes Ganzes ist das mystische.

Wir fühlen, dass selbst, wenn alle möglichen wissenschaftlichen Fragen beantwortet sind, unsere Lebensprobleme noch gar nicht berührt sind. Freilich bleibt dann eben keine Frage mehr; und eben dies ist die Antwort.

Die Lösung des Problems des Lebens merkt man am Verschwinden dieses Problems.

Es gibt allerdings Unaussprechliches. Dies zeigt sich, es ist das Mystische.

You can probably find reasons in every theory, not even depening on ehtical or ontological ones so it doesn't make much sense to list them all up here, does it? Which ways of thinking are you fond of?

Also the easy way would just be the socrates, aristotle and marc aurel quotations you find here all the time. They're very general but have potential to motivate a lot.

To this I can recommend "epikur" (no idea how you write it in in english).
You'll maximize hapiness in the long run with staying fit and not lying on the couch, so the long term hapiness is less shallow and should be prefered over the small one.

Now go lift you lazy faggot.

You need to get into stoicism.

From wikipedia:

"Stoicism teaches the development of self-control and fortitude as a means of overcoming destructive emotions".
