So, I’m ina a bit of a pickle. I generally workout 5 days a week, and have been at this for about a week or so, thus far, no problems. I’ve been exercising everyday. However, today,I’m just lacking that motivation. The idea of exercising is not very fun. Plus I’m tired. Do you think I should workout tonight or not? Also, how do you motivate yourself when you don’t want to?

I exercise somewhat but I want to exercise more. The problem is I never have enough motivation. What is a good motivational technique? I’m thinking of taking a picture of myself in a bikini and taping it next to a bikini model…any other ideas? Thank you in advance!

Logically I KNOW that exercise is good for my body and mood. There is no dispute over that fact. I cannot simply will myself to exercise — that just doesn’t work for me. Contrary to the popular Nike ad "Just Do It" doesn’t work.

I am thinking of going to hypnotherapy to help me want to exercise. What do you think about using hypnotherapy to create motivation for exercising?
@ Belle – LOL! : ) "Walking to hypnotherapy" — that really made me smile.

I always end up too lazy to do it, and I can never find something that I enjoy doing except for running but considering that I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba. There are only 3 or 4 months of the year that I actually can go jogging, because I can’t handle doing it in the snow and I can’t afford to get a gym pass. What are some fun things I can do indoors without having to buy weights or an exercise ball or anything? And what is some good motivation?
Well I’m not fat or even chubby, but I’ve gotten a bit of a flab over the winter and I wanna tone up my body but I can’t afford to go to the gym and I don’t know what I can do at home, or have the motivation to just sit and do push ups and sit ups or dance. I’ve considered yoga, but I don’t know how and can’t find any information on the internet.

I used to go to the gym every day for 1 to 1.5 hrs. I really enjoyed it. But lately I haven’t had the motivation to go. And if I do go by about 1/2 hr I lose concentration and motivation.

What can I do to motivate my self to exercise more?
Tips or suggestions?
