If you exercise regularly how do you motivate yourself?

[somethingmustchange]

I started running about 3 weeks ago and really want exercise to become a regular part of my life. I've been going every other day and I feel fitter already and absolutely amazing after every run, but have to force myself each time I go and force myself to continue whilst actually exercising. I am worried that my motivation will disappear once the novelty wears off so looking for tips to keep it up. I am already slim so loosing weight doesn't motivate me.

We are creatures of habit. If you keep it up for 3 times a week for a few months, then anything less will seem like you are cheating yourself.

For running, tell yourself you will always put your shoes on and go out even if its for 10 minutes - that is the hardest part - you'll be guaranteed to stay out for longer
