How do you motivate yourself to exercise???

[Shelleymb 75]

My motto was (and is when I don't want to go) "Fake it until you make it" I just pretended I was motivated and gritted my teeth and went. Now for my morning workout I luckily have my sister and cousin... It's a trifecta of accountability. The only reason we each get up is because we assume the other will. Then we just show up and get it done.

I used to despise any type of exercise. One day while sitting in front of the TV and munching on Snacks, i felt extremely bored. I decided to try out the Beach Body 10min workout DVD (great for while traveling btw) that was collecting dust on the shelf. That was what jump started my almost 2 years long workout regime. Since then, i've done numerous at home videos, joined a gym for zumba and circuit training, completed several 5k obstacle course, picked up hiking, biking, jogging...yoggaing? I get bored easily, i think its ADD.. . I think you just have to keep trying new and different things until you find your niche. For me, I really appreciate group exercises because the positive energy that just oozes out from everyone around you. I've learned that i can't wake up in the morning and workout to save my life, so i do it after work. The trick that keeps me motivated was alll the different activities and trying something new gives me warm fuzzies :wub:. i'm going rock climbing this weekend for the first time, i love to see what my leaner body is capable of in comparison to my former self..
