    Find a routine or an 'activity' that you truly enjoy.
    For me its Zumba.
    I love dancing so thats the perfect Cardio for me.. I dont get tired of it I have many routines on DVD and it just feels like dancing around but sweating and burning calories like hell !! :)

    I make sure I want to do the exercise I'm doing, for starters. For example, if I want to walk for my exercise in three days in a row, I'll do it. But the next day I might be in the mood for tennis or swimming.

    Also, while I'm exercising, I DO NOT LOOK AT THE CLOCK. The clock is the enemy, and I only check it if I'm walking and doing laps around the park. (So I can keep track of how fast I'm walking for logging). Otherwise, NO CLOCK. Something that also helps is having someone to talk to. If you're walking alone, listen to an audiobook. You'll be more focused on finishing chapters than clock staring.

    For sports, I keep track of points. For example, when I play tennis, I keep track of when we're tied and such because sometimes I'll be tied, one of us will score a point and then the other will tie us up again. It can really eat up the minutes. Bottom line is, incorporate FUN into your workout.
