how to make me exercise?

Exercise is supposed to be fun? Since when? If you put forth the effort it will get easier. I never really started woking out till about three months ago. I would walk every now and then, but that was about it. Then my weight loss really started to slow and I wanted to get it kicked up again. I joined a gym and started doing the cardio. That is what allowed me to get to goal. Now I am even starting to run a little, up to a mile and half at a time.   My advice is to start slow. Get a calendar or a planner and track your progress. If you walk 5 minutes or 5 miles put it down. Set small goals and when you achieve them set new ones. By having it on a calendar or a planner you wil see you are making progress. With that will come the motavtion.  I bought me an mp3 player, there are times I just close my eyes and listen to the music while I am working out. I will crank up the incline, grab a hold and put my head down and go at it.  pan head

Two things that I did the first few months.  I had my WLS in October.  I made alittle path inside the house.  Put on some good music and just walked.  It was cold outside so I just walked around the house for 15 to 30 minutes.  I could stop when I wanted to.  I had the TV on and when something interesting came on...I marched in place.  Yes, I had the curtains closed...But it worked.  The other thing is just to walk around your area.  KY shouldn't get too cold.  An easy walk would work and go from there.  Brian

I really can't say that I 'enjoy' exercise but I do find it as a great source of releasing frustrations (weightlifting) and relaxation (running).  

After you participate in a certain activity for a certain amount of time (I hear that it takes 20 days for your brain to establish a 'routine') it becomes second nature.   The best comparison I can give is the time changing from standard time to daylight savings time.   The first couple weeks of daylight savings time sucks ballz.  It's difficult to get up and get moving because you aren't used to getting up an hour earlier than 'normal;.  You and your body eventually get used to it and after a couple weeks.  You've adjusted to it and the new time change becomes second nature.   Think of exercise the same way.   Participate in an activity for 20 days and I bet on the 21st day you will be wondering exactly what you were doing on that hour you weren't exercising.  

The trick is to learn how to enjoy exercising. You're not going to be able to do that if you jump in and try working out at a gym or walking for 30 minutes if you're not doing that right now. So you have to sneak up on it slowly and conquer your fear. Start by simply walking, preferably outdoors, but on a treadmill if the weather doesn't permit it. Walking is not something you have to learn to do - you're already very good at it, so there's no learning curve for it. Also, don't jump into an elaborate exercise program on day 1 or make unrealistic goals like "I'm going to start working out 5 times a week starting next Monday." Start with the bare minimum of walking you can do - I started at 10 minutes, but if you feel better at 5 minutes or even 1 minute, seriously, start there. Your first few weeks of working out will seem like you're "wasting" your time, because walking 1 or 5 or even 10 minutes isn't going to burn many calories. But that's not the point right now. The point is to get into the habit of actually getting your walking shoes on, going outside, and successfully completing a "work out". You're probably going to feel like you could have done a lot more when you stop, but that's also good. You want to develop a *desire* for it, so you look forward to doing it again. Slowly add more time, but no more than 10% per week. That is, if you start at 10 minutes, keep that same time all week, and next week add one more minute, so you walk 11 minutes at a time that week. Also, don't try to do it every day. Do it every other day so you develop the habit of working out one day, then resting the next day. Your body probably doesn't need much rest after a 10 minute walk, but do it anyway. You're training yourself not to feel "guilty" when you don't work out on a particular day, because when you're (someday) doing more strenuous exercise, those rest days are just as important as the work out itself. Slowly over time, you'll build up a desire and motivation to exercise along with the physical endurance to do more. If you let it happen naturally, you'll be very successful.

I was never into "exercise"until after my surgery.  I find that I feel much better after a workout, and have more energy, thus I am happier and look forward to my daily workout. The Kevinator
