Motivation for exercise

I speak as someone who exercises minimally 6 days a week. I am not motivated alot of the time. If you wait to be motivated you will never do it. People say ohh I wish I had your motivation. But it isn’t that. It’s the discipline to just do it even when you really don’t want to that sets you apart from the rest.
Treat it like a job or an appointment that you have to do without question. Once you start the motivation will come from the feeling you get when you are healthy and the results you see.

I agree with this, even though it's probably not what you want to hear.

Motivation is a great thing to get you started, but it tends to wane pretty quickly, so it's good to build in a routine and just stick to it. For example I book and pay for classes in advance, so if I don't go then I lose money and feel guilty - works for me!

Also, try to find and activity you enjoy (or at least don't hate) that way it will be easier to convince yourself to do it. I hate running, so I don't do it, it would be a nightmare to try and convince myself to run all the time, I would be miserable - so I do something else.

I never thought I would be a person who enjoyed working out, but I started doing Reformer Pilates a few months ago and I love it. I do still have days where I'm tired, and would rather sit on the couch and eat cereal - but I go anyway because I know I'll feel better afterwards. And I'm starting to feel stronger which I love. I know it's something I will stick to as I actually look forward to it some days.

I think when you are someone who is unfit( as I used to be), it's easy to convince yourself that fit healthy people have some magical ability to love exercise and just have something you don't - but really, most people who workout regularly don't enjoy every minute, and have days where they would rather do something else - but they like the results, and know it's good for them, so they stick to it.

Just get up and do it. By 10am it's done and you can barely remember it happened.

I exercise between 5 and 6am as that works really well for me and it's when I am most energetic. By the time I get to work I can't remember what I did.

It's just part of the fabric of my life.

How I motivated/motivate myself when I took up regular exercise around 10 years ago is:

Try and find something you enjoy. Give yourself permission to not do the stuff you hate. I have a strict no Burpees rule for example.
Make yourself do something, anything - told yourself you're going to have a run but can't face it? Head out for a walk or a run walk instead. Once you're out you'll end up doing more than you thought you would.
Make little habits - do the same thing at the same time on the same day so it feels harder to miss than to do it

focus on loosing weight first?

Honestly, motivation isn't what you need - discipline is! Motivation can waiver and fail, but if you have iron discipline you will make yourself exercise.

Make yourself do it - have an iron will. Set yourself times to exercise, and do it. That's the only way I've succeeded and it's the best advice I have!
