Other [[emotion]]s also have an special role in gaining fitness. When Sims are [[angry]], they can do rage-fueled runs on the treadmill, enraged reps on the weight machine, blow off steam on the punching bag and swim angry laps in pools. [[Confident]] Sims can run with their chest out on the treadmill, or do a roundhouse kickskick on the punching bag. Both emotions will boost a Sim's fitness skill gain.

When a Sim has been working out for enough amount of time, they will become tired and will stop on their own. However, they can still use the "Push the Limits" interaction, but Sims will in the end gain the "Sore" [[uncomfortable]] moodlet and cannot anymore workout anymore. As Sims gain more fitness skill, they can workout for longer periods of time, and more workout options will appear. They can perform no sweat workouts to slow down their [[hygiene]] decay and endurance workouts to go for longer periods of workoutstime, before becoming too tired and sore.
