Take a quick look at the post "A Conscious Approach to Exercise" for more in depth. 

You have developed your awareness to spot superficial motivations for exercising, but not enough to see the truth of what exercise really is.
Exercise is not about getting big, gaining confidence, building muscle to "look good", getting a six-pack, so on and so forth. 
Those are simply minor bonuses to the whole ordeal. 

The human body is buildt to manage extreme feats, more so than any modern man knows. It is a machine, a powerful machine. 
The body and mind are in the same vessel, they are joined in harmonic balance. So, what then happens when a human gains so much resource that it does not need to utilize the bodys potential? Attrophy. Of both body and mind, because they are One.

Exercise isnt only exercise for the body, its also for the mind. For consciousness. When you truly train, you push boundaries, experience things that you havent ever experienced before. Illuminating consciousness unto those experiences. You do what you litterally were created to do.
Boundaries are set by ego. "noo, no I cannot do that". When those boundaries are broken the ego is broken and consciousness is flowing. 
If you go to the gym with the sole vision of beating your boundaries, you will see the truth of what exercise truly is. 
All of those physical effects are merely the benefits of exercise, they are manifestations. Results from pushing and destroying boundaries.
It is the act of destroying those boundaries that is the truth of exercise and it is there you will find your true motivation.
