I usually say Jeep, but that bottom panel is 100% my attitude toward exercise.  ^_^

 Fun fact: I was a super heavyweight lifter in high school. Super heavyweight: not the greatest adjective to apply to a 17 year old girl, jsyk. I regularly came last, because 1) I never got good at bench press 2) I was about ten pounds over the line between heavyweight and super heavyweight, so I REGULARLY lifted against girls who outweighed me by 100+ pounds. But, y’know. It was still an experience. And I was the very first female super heavyweight competitive lifter from my high school, and in the first female lifting competition in my state.

And yeah. It felt a lot like this.

Nawww, that’s really awesome!  :D
