    I belong to a studio that charges me if I sign up for a class but don't go! Helps a lot. For running I really want to run a sub two half so even when it's gross out I have that in my mind and it helps me get out the door.

    In my part of CA, it's not that cold, but my schedule has kept me out of the gym. Doing T25 before work and loving it.

    I trolled Craigslist and bought equipment and put it in my basement. There are handful of things you should never buy new -piano, pool table, boat and exercise equipment. Too many people buy these and never use them. Sometimes, you can get this stuff for free or for next to nothing and in many cases, it is in perfect shape. If it weren't in my basement, I would never use it. I ran a cable to my workout area and have a tv with a DVD player - watch sports, movies or workout DVD (and, I get to control it).

    I've always gone after work...I don't care if it's cold out or not, I'm not doing jack *kitten* at 4:30 in the morning.

    I've found it's quite easy to get motivation in the winter purely because if I go to the gym I warm up quickly! I understand the struggle though, especially if my bed's nice and warm. But just keep thinking that if you work out, you'll warm up!

    I agree with habit and sucking it up. If you want it, go get it. Dress warm.
