Hi all! I seem to be going through this kick of being motivated for a couple of days, walking for 45-60 minutes, then falling off the wagon and getting "ready" to go for a walk, or to the gym... and I can't get my a$$ out the door to do anything. Thoughts or suggestions for motivation? I've tried setting up times to work out with friends, and they are as flaky as me in this regard. :wink:

Would love some reasonable advice... I feel like I'm slackin! :thumbup:

I suggest finding a Fitness Bootcamp for 30 days. You pay... so that's motivation in itself. Secondly it's accountability and will give you the boost and jump start you need!

I use music as my motivator. We're all so busy these days, that there's rarely time to just stop and enjoy our favorite tunes. So every day I take 45 minutes to walk 2.5 miles and listen to my music nice and loud on headphones, then I work through lunch to make up the time. I look forward to it (most days) and it really helps me get off my butt. And it charges me up for the rest of the day. Once you do it for three days in a row, it gets much easier to keep it going. Good luck!

I purchased a good quality exercise bike and have it in front of my big screen. I like to binge watch series on Netflix, so getting up to see the next episode of whatever I'm addicted to that week is helpful.
