I have come too far to go back. I have a sedentary job - gym exercise is essential for me. This thread came along just in time - I'm going now.0

I started Jillian Micheals 30 day shred. I usually do Popsugar fitness videos on YouTube because there are so many different types of videos and for different amount of times. I liked Jillians video it wasn't easy but it wasn't impossible either. These videos are the only thing I actually enjoy and don't take up a lot of time... Oh and they are all on YouTube for free too so there's that!0

Do something you don't hate. Pick a goal to accomplish something you don't think is possible. Running race, crossfit event thing, some weight lift goal, a focused dance class, something.
I run, but I'm never going to say I LOVE it. I'd rather have sex/watch movies/eat cheetos/play video games all day but as an adult I work at a job, pay taxes, go shopping and workout.
This. I don't wait to get motivated. I found some things I enjoy. I do something 5-6 days a week. It's built into my routine. I literally "just do it." No choice. No deliberating on my drive after work. Just go where I need to go. This will get me through the holidays especially.0 -
I don't do a gym but my motivation to get outside and do something is remembering how I felt when I was doing nothing but sitting on a couch and eating and drinking. Also, it is the only time I have to myself to enjoy the peace and quiet of a nice run or some relaxing yoga. Really starts or completes a day for me.0

I hate working out. It's not enjoyable to me at all. However, I know that exercise, sleep, and healthy eating has a massive effect on my mental state. I'm efficient, in control, and things come easy when I'm healthy. When I slip up it's a roller coaster and who knows what's going to happen; I'm just along for the ride at that point.0

I love the way it feels to finally add that additional weight to your bar and knock out the lift. It's very powerful and satisfying.0
