Honestly? I love bodybuilding. I'd love to look like a professional bodybuilder. Right now I spend roughly an hour to an hour-and-a-half at the gym, 6 days per week.

The hardest part, by far, is dieting properly. Eating enough protein consistently every day, and keeping carbs at a manageable level depending on existing goals (losing weight or bulking up). Also: consistently eating clean is quite hard -- it requires a lot of sacrifice: less meals out with the wife, less 'typical' foods, and it frequently makes going out with buddies for late night activities hard.
I've been doing this consistently for the past 2 years, and have been seeing great results though. Overall, I really enjoy it.
Over the past two years, I went from being 1 lbs overweight according to my doctor to 6'1" 175 by gradually starting to run and then then do yoga. I was getting up to six times a week either running 30 mins or 1 - 1.25 hours of yoga, but I hit a limit because of my diet. I just don't eat enough of the right stuff to keep that up and those are moderate (not light) exercises. If I eat sugar and breads it might be technically enough calories, but without the energy to really work out well. I wonder how many people can't get into regular exercise because they don't eat right stuff either.
