I slept in today so it's already 10am and I'm just finishing off my OJ and cereal. For some reason my body feels exhausted and I really don't have the motivation to get up and walk over to the gym, much less work out for 30-60 minutes. What do you guys do when you just don't want to get up and go work out?

I tell myself I only have to do 10 minutes and if I still don't feel like working out - I can quit. But I have to do at least 10 minutes.
I think I've stopped like once. Its more the *idea* of getting ready to workout and starting the workout I don't want to do --- once I'm actually going, I'm good with it.0 -
Do it! And do what EPJ said. Once you get started you'll feel better0

Lots of times, just putting on your workout clothes makes you feel like working out.
Or....take a nap if you can and work out after you wake up and have more energy.0 -
yeah i also feel like that, usually after a 9 hour shift at work and then the thought of going to the gym when i just want to go home and put my feet up is daunting.
I usually think of how guilty i would feel if i didnt go, or I just get my husband to drag me to the gym by my earlobes if he has to, once im there im fine!0 -
Thanks guys. Funny, once I ended up at the gym I ended up doing a better workout than I did yesterday
