How do I get back on liking to workout again. At the start I was full of motivation & it does not I have that feeling it kind of went away.

    Is there some kind of exercise you really enjoy? Hiking or taking the dog for a walk or dancing? Start there. Picking something you enjoy doing makes it more likely that you will stick with it and can lead to doing more. Working out doesn't have to be running or lifting or DVD's.

    What types of workouts do you do? I would say to try something different. If you find something you really enjoy then you will be more motivated to work out. I don't think I will ever be motivated to do any kind of "boot camp" or "body assault". I don't even really like aerobics even though for years that was my go to exercise. I have found that I love yoga. And I started out just walking with my dogs, but then decided to give C25k a try and I have discovered thta I also enjoy running. Don't be afraid to try new things. The best exercise program is the one you will actually do.

    Do it anyway, most times people just feel unmotivated before they start and once they finally do it are good

    This. I have days where I dread hitting the gym. However, as soon as I throw on some deathcore and tear through my warmup sets, the fire is lit, and I've never regretted showing up.

    Try different activities until you find something you enjoy. Once you find what you like schedule your workouts and consider them an appointment you must keep. Look into structured programs, challenges, or groups for motivation.

    Also this, though I'm not sure I'd recommend the deathcore.
