    It took me a while to warm up to it, but now I wish I could go every day. In fact, I'm making plans to move closer to my gym BECAUSE I love it so much. I wonder if my trainer would let me move into the storage room...

    I have days where I wake up, and I'm like "Oh yeah, today is gonna be a great workout day!" And I'm all excited, and motivated!
    Then I have days where I would rather count the tiles on my ceiling than even attempt to get up and do something active.

    It just varies. I usually enjoy my exercise routines though. :)

    I love it and look forward to it all the time. Rest weeks (like this week) drive me bonkers, but it will be well worth it when I hit the platform this weekend fully rested and ready to kill it.

    Yes. While my interests may shift and ebb & flow towards various modes of training, I am certainly not going to do anything I dont like

    It's important to find fitness activities that you enjoy. Despite popular belief, you don't have to jump around like some kind of jack *kitten* in your living room or join a boot camp class or drone away on some machine to have a good workout. Finding something you enjoy is fairly detrimental to long term success.

    If you're new to fitness, this may take some trial and error...I spent a fair amount of time early on doing things because I thought I was supposed to do them and I hated them. I finally discovered my love of all things bicycle and haven't looked back.

    I ride roughly 80-90 miles per week give or take...that's usually an hour at a steady 15 - 16 MPH four days during the week and then a good two hour ride on either a Saturday or Sunday that usually gets me between 25 - 30 miles depending on my route. Beyond that, I lift for about an hour 2x weekly with a full body routine.

    Depending on the time of year, I also enjoy hiking and swimming quite a bit and I walk my dog pretty regularly.

    I love what I do, but like anyone else I have days where I'm really not motivated. But once your workouts become habit, you make them happen during those times. No matter what. Nothing is better than the feeling you have once you completed your workout. VICTORY.

    I change up my workout very frequently and lately I change some things on every workout (accessory work).

    I agree. If you do the type of workouts you enjoy, you are more likely to do them. But as others stated as well, you must strive to push yourself. You like body-weight stuff? You like the outdoors? Then do pull-ups on the monkey bars. I seen vids on youtube with guys doing full workouts outside and they're pretty hardcore. Agreed on getting out of the comfort zone too.

    I love my workouts, and I mix things up with the help of my awesome trainer. When I don't want to be in the gym, I will walk outside or bike outside. I love going to the gym though. I have been at the same one for 5 years and can't imagine my life without it. There are always days that I don't want to be there, but I love the feeling when I am finished. Sometimes the dreaded workout end up being some of my best.

    My workout changes each day so I neither get bored nor to I get hard on myself. I am recovering from a fractured shoulder so I am not into the "I do it because I must" at this point. I'm still in the "I'm doing this to get better for my family." phase.
