Or perhaps...
or last but not least...
I'm being completely serious. Well, at least somewhat.
Before I got married, I used to have a regular workout schedule. But now, it's pretty much...oh you know... NONEXISTENT.
And let me tell you something, I hate it. Almost every day I tell myself that I'm going to make it outside or up to the gym but when I actually have time to do it, I would rather do other things. At the end of the night, I kick myself for not going. The next day, it happens again.
AHH the constant frustration! Where has my motivation gone?
What do I get as punishment for not exercising? My body is in shambles. SHAMBLES. This morning, I woke up and felt so stiff in my neck and my arms. I was so confused, what have I done lately to be sore? Oh, and I instantly had the answer: practicing my violin. How pathetic.
So I'm asking you, in some form of desperation, where/how do you get your motivation to get up and get moving? Also, what is your favorite, most effective form of exercise? And last but not least, I know you all are so busy, how do you fit it into your schedule?

So I used to hate working out but now it pains me if I even miss a day, which has been terrible because I haven't been in over a week due to deathly illness.
I don't really know where the motivation comes from, it just started when I realized how good I felt after working out all of the time.
I usually try and do three days of cardio and two days of weight training each week if my schedule permits. Weight training is definitely my favorite thing to do. Working on my abs is at the top of my list.
Oh, and I like to dance and play basketball to mix it up when I get bored with running/elipticals.
Honestly, there is no such thing as will power, but I just know how good it makes me feel so I keep going. Once you get started, it's hard to stop.
I don't know what it is about husbands, but they tend to kill any sort of workout schedule you had. Sadly, it's been SIX YEARS since I had a consistent workout schedule. So, I guess, clearly I'm not any help on the subject. Though I was considering hitting the HPER between news reporting and media law. I mean, what else am I doing, really? Good luck, though.
Psst..when you find the answer to your question let me know because seriously Im the same haha. I babysat for a friend the other day and they kept me on my feet the whole day and picking them up down and up, the next day I was so sore. Lame huh! Maybe I should just have kids haha not.
OH MIDGE!!!! If you're like me the motivation has gone out the window because it's been such awful weather and who wants to workout when you have to freeze your butt off to go. I've found that if I have someone to go with it makes it much better. So...when we go to lunch(speaking of, Mondays or Wednesdays work best for me) we could make a plan and we could go walking together. I know it's not the gym, but hey it's worth a shot!!
I like Crunch Yoga because it kicks my butt and I can do it at my leisure. You can get the DVD for real keep on Amazon.
Sadly, this semester has crippled my workout routine. However, once I graduate I vow to be a regular. And my killer abs will be the proof! Hahaha!
PS
YOU are the subject of what I like about you Wednesday!
amen! It takes all I've got to get me out the door! Yeah, let me know when you find something that works :) I use to be so good before I got married...I keep telling myself I will do better (my new years resolution...yeah 3 months later still not happening) maybe when the weather gets better...ha ha!
Have a baby, let them grown into a toddler and chase them around! Ha just kidding, I have a hard time with this too. I do really well when I have someone counting on me though. If you find someone to work out with that you have to meet at a certain time at a certain place, you will probably go whether you want to or not. Good luck!
