Exercise

This week I have been trying to get the motivation to get nack on the ecercise wagon! I generally walk on the treadmill and play some tennis. I was wondering, what does everyone do to stay motivated with exercising? Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I tell myself that I will feel better afterward, and I do!

Also, I think about how much stronger my body feels--I literally feel my quads and calf muscles to remind myself that months ago, they were much flabbier.

Sometimes I post my lack of motivation online and if people respond with encouragements, that gets me off my ass.

During my runs I listen to music with a fast-paced, rockin' beat, and sometimes when I am REALLY suffering (such as going uphill), I think about sex and it distracts me long enough to get through the workout. You may laugh, but it works!

I have to make a conscious decision to do it whether I want to or not. I have promised myself that the dayd that I don't feel to do it the most is the the most important days to do it...I hate to exercise but I do feel great after I have done it for the day

I LOVE to go out walking.  I have three young kids so when I go out by myself walking it is my "me" time!  I walked about 5-6 miles yesterday!

I just pretty much make myself exercise daily and also remind myself of how much it's helping in my wieght loss journey.  I also think it helps that I actually enjoy going to curves and with the wii fit to me it's a lot of fun so it doesn't seem as much like exercise.  Now with the wii active to me it's more like a workout so I just pretty much make myself do it, it's the one I don't enjoy because it has quite a bit of running and I hate running but I go ahead and do it regardless.  Also I do DDR sometimes and to me it's more like fun also so I don't have issues doing ti.
