Motivation? what motivates you?

I want to exercise, just sometimes I cant be bothered to be honest
So what keeps you motivated?
I think what I probably need is someone to stand beside me shouting at me to move my fat bum
Also any ideas on the adverage cost of a trainer?

Getting started was the hardest part for me. But after a few times at the gym I realized I love the way I feel AFTER a workout. I hate sweating during it, but the reward afterwards in my increase in energy is so worth it.

No trainer experience here, but I know it can be pricey, but if you have the money maybe getting a trainer for a month or so would get you started?

Having a trainer is definitely amazing motivation. You have to work out really hard with them and then they get mad at you if you don't continue at home! I used to have one but haven't for ages - what motivates me now is knowing that I will feel awesome when I get back and not guilty later in the day. Also, the other day someone somewhere (maybe on a video I dunno) was saying to tell yourself you enjoy exercise and see it like yoga, incorporating the mind as well rather than telling yourself you hate it! It works for me!

Wanting to lose weight. Plus, we have a challenge at work, the one to lose the biggest percentage of their weight wins a trip. I want to win that trip. Oh, and I promised myself for every 5 lbs I lose, I get to treat myself to a massage. I do love a massage!
