Think of how GOOD you will feel with you are done! Look at a picture of the swim suit you want... thats what i do A good workout will give you energy!0

maybe we should go the way momma would....
"get up off your *kitten* and go work out. PRONTO!"
did that help? lol
you will feel much better after you work out, if you think about it, you always do!0 -
Go read One year later (proof MFP works!)... on the success stories board.
If that's not gonna get you off your butt to work out, I don't know what will!
But don't feel too bad, I have to have someone kick me in the butt today too.0 -
This trick usually works to get me going when I don't want to start - just tell yourself that you only need to do 15 minutes. If, after 15 minutes you still don't want to exercise you can stop. What usually happens for me is that after the 15 minutes, I want to keep going and end up having a great workout. Personally, I always find the workouts that I don't want to do are always the most rewarding when I finally get going and just do it.0

You can do it!!! I took my daughters for ice cream, didn't get any for myself, and then came home and logged 30 min on the treadmill. That hardly seemed fair at the time, but I feel great about it now. You will too!0

I do the same thing every day, I don't want to go to the gym, but once I get there and get into my workout I feel much better, then on teh way home I feel great and then in the hot shower I feel awesome! JUST DO IT, lol.0

Just tell your self that your only going to exercise for only 1 minute you will end up doing more before you know it good luck0

I had that problem today, too. I worked late and by the time I got home I really did not feel like working out. After about an hour of stalling, I finally made myself do it, and I'm so glad I did. I feel so much better that it's done now, and my body is thanking me.0

You can do it! Picture where you've come from and picture where you want to be. Keep that picture in front of you so it can be an encouragement as you go about your day. It is the effort we put in that pays off in the end, go for it!!0
