I find it very difficult to self motivate! I can go out and happily exercicse if Ihave a partner, but I can't always find a partner to exercise with - so how do I self motivate and make it happen??? Any suggestions!

  • Really good music! And putting on your workout clothes even when you don't want to. That helps me get motivated to leave the house.

    I reward myself for sticking to my exercise plan. Not with food, but something I really want. It works for me.

    When I was first getting into working out, I would just say, "I am just going to leave the HOUSE". If I put on my clothes and got out of the door, I knew I'd end up at the gym. (I'm EXCELLENT at lying to myself...so I use this power for good now). Good luck! Maybe a cyber workout buddy?
