If you wait until you find motivation, you may find that it never comes. I'm amazed at my lack of motivation. I literally can't believe some days that I drag myself to workout or mentally fight with myself so many times a day. Try to just go through the motions and physically drag yourself outside to go for a walk, or put down the junk food and walk away and go find ANYTHING else to do. It sounds ridiculous, but that's how I get through some days. Just physically go through the motions without listening to my thoughts on it. Of course, I do have good days where I'm on top of the world...but generally, nope. Just make yourself do it until like others have stated, it becomes more habit than anything. Good luck!0

hi, I never cared much for exercise either until I found something I enjoyed doing to be honest. Try taking a local gym class you think you might like or look up a good dvd or app. I recently started C25k and I actually really like it even though I despise running. It keeps me motivated.0
