    This. I'm the slowest in the pool where I swim... but my half-mile is a half-mile more than everyone who doesn't show up.

    Love it! I tend to take the slow but steady approach but as long as I'm making the effort I am making my health and fitness a priority.

    no good answer for that, i struggle with motivation to exercise as well. motivation will be different for everyone. keep at it, the more you do the more motivated you will become. good luck to you :smile:

    Thank you for posting that. I
    will have to remember that when I don't feel like exercising.

    I think the trick to keeping to your exercise program is to make it into a habit. Make it part of your routine. Once you do it for a few weeks it gets easier. But everyone slips up sometimes so when you "fall off the wagon", just keep trying. We're all a work in progress.

    Ran my first 5k today and this thought made me get through it. I may not have been fast (definately not fast) but I wasn't last and I wasn't at home sitting on my couch eating ice cream. It can only get better from here :smile:

    I was just like you, I'd exercise for a week, then quit for 3. I kept with this pattern until I read a book and it explained that it takes 21 days to form a habit. So I set a goal of being consistent with exercise for 21 days....and haven't looked back since.

    So give yourself 21 days, within those 21 days, workout at least 5 days a week. PLAN the workouts, write them on your calendar and do not let anything get in the way.

    To motivate myself to exercise I sign up for things. I started small with a 5k and I'm now training for a triathlon. I know that I have to get out and train so I'm ready for it!
