Cant be bothered or just lazy......

I did this for years and it made me sick. High BP etc. I finally decided I didn't want to die. I need to be here for my 11 month old son. That was my motivation. Basically, you just have to do it. MAKE yourself do it at first. Every time you make an escuse ask yourself why your making it? Really think about it. I hope your able to find motivation. Good luck.

Hi,

Going to the gym can get boring and maybe the thought of having to make that effort is making you think again. You could always try and do something at home, i.e. an excercise video or an excercise bike. Maybe that way you won't feel that you have to make the effort to go to the gym but you are still excercising. Failing that, you could make some changes in your life style so instead of taking a bus or driving, walk more.

Good luck anyway.

I am EXACTLY the same!!! At the start of any diet i get this mad rush to exercise my *kitten* off then after a few weeks i cant be bothered. I find that spontanious exercise works best for me. i dont think about it all day, i get home after work and do the bits that need doing and have my dinner etc then i realise that iv actually run out of things to do so ill go do a workout. even if its 20 mins on the treadmill or 5 mins of yoga on the Wii its still something.

Dont forget you dont have to make exercise a chore, if you like cooking then count the time you are cooking or banking for as part of your daily exercise, even cleaning. i now do the housework in my heels because it gives my legs a good workout.

You do not have to do it every day but just think about how good your going to look when you reach your goal. That should motivate you! )

I have the same problem.. I used to tell myself I'll start jogging tomorrow. The best way is to just do it. The next time you want to procrastinate just immediate go do some exercise. Pick an exercise that you enjoy. Personally I find the gym boring and prefer to jog around my neighborhood.

There is so much more to exercise than going to the gym. Keep looking till you find stuff you love doing. Once it becomes less of a chore you will want to do it.

I would be lying if I said I loved to exercise but I try to do something everyday. I love zumba so go to a class once a week and am looking forward to be able to do it at home too. I am also on day 3 of the 30DS which is hard work but I like that fact that it is over quickly. I also class walking my daughter to school as exercise as I didn't do this before I started my diet and I walk about 3.5 miles a day to take her and pick her up.

Hope you can find an exercise that you enjoy

Don't want to sound like a broken record, but the first few weeks i upped my eating and metabolism, my body was full of energy and I actually wanted to go to the gym. 4 months later, when I'm sluggish, a few cups of coffee get me motivated.
A friend of my wife became a professional dog walker, lost a LOT of weight doing that. Maybe you can walk some other dogs in the neighborhood every once in a while. Plus the WII, spin and zumba classes. I was thinking of doing kick boxing or stomach classes in the gym this summer. one day at a time. working in the garden is also a good workout. A few days in the garden and you'll want to go back to the gym.

I'm with Rick re Glenn Harold, his cd's are well worth yhe money. I'm currently using his slimming one. But if you hate exercise why don't you do something like a zumba class .

Every morning I have conversation with myself "No! I don't want to workout! But you'll feel so much better if you do. My legs hurt! I'm tired! Get your butt moving!" About 10 minutes into whatever I'm doing, I forget that I didn't want to do it.

On weekends it can be a little harder. Luckily my 11 year old turns into my coach and tells me to get moving.
