Only problem is, I can't seem to force myself to do it. I come home from work and I'm exhausted. Getting up before work to do it doesn't work too well, as it has to be indoor exercise 9 months a year and hubby sleeps later than I do, so I don't want to wake him.
I don't like getting up in the morning in any situation, including to exercise and though I've done it in the past, I now exercise after work. Like the others have said, no motivation involved. It's something I need to do, and I take the time for me! I keep my gym bag packed and in the car so I have no excuse. As soon as I get home, I put clean workout clothes in and back into the car it goes. All summer I kept my bicycle in the car so I always had that choice for cardio. I plan my work days so I have a healthy snack about 3:30-4 pm so I'm ready to exercise about 5:15. Do I like cardio? Not especially, but having lively music on my iPod helps. I enjoy weight training a lot more, but I need both, so I do both. Really if you make a plan and a commitment to it, you can do it. And you'll feel better - both mentally and physically.

I totally agree, and I've always heard "find exercise you do like." I also really enjoy variety so I don't get bored - It's just about finding the routine, and NOT LETTING YOURSELF MAKE EXCUSES. One more thing for me is making sure I get a workout in on Monday morning - kind of just sets the rest of the week up for success!
