Anyone any tricks to make exercising less of a chore? I work out at home and I have to FORCE myself to do it, which means I just don't. I've always got an excuse. I'm not motivated at all. Why not, I don't know. I feel horrible the way I am at the moment. I feel achy and I frighten myself with how much harder everything is to do compared to a couple of years ago. I can't go on like this. But even that's not enough to make me do it.

Does anyone else struggle? I don't understand why I'm putting these roadblocks in my own way...it's beyond stupid. I'm being a total idiot and I'm disgusted with myself.

I do it very first thing in the morning. Get up and go. It means it’s done and out of the way for the day.

I second previous poster - you need to find an exercise you enjoy in the company of others, because it makes me work so much harder when they are there to spur me on. Swimming has changed my life, lost over 4 stone, really enjoy the feeling in water, no sweat, no fuss… it doesn’t feel like exercise when it’s fun and you stop every now and again for a chat with others, who then persuade you to keep going.

You need to go to a class. It makes me go, and I’m friendly with the ladies tnere.
