Not motivated to move
I need help!!! I just joined the gym with my fiance, and he's a great motivator...but I have to be honest when I say I'm not excited to exercise, I don't want to exercise, I don't like exercising...I just do it because I know I have to. Does anybody have any advice as far as getting pumped up to work out? I know it takes at least 21 days to get into a habit...but it's just day 3. Please anybody out there with any suggestions??

Re: Not motivated to move
What kind of exercising are you doing? Maybe you just haven't found something you like yet. I found that the more I do the more I want to do. Now I can't imagine a day without doing some kind of exercise. I get restless if I haven't moved enough. Give it a chance. 3 days isn't really enough time. But try to find something you like and enjoy doing. If it still doesn't work, imagine all the calories and fat being sweated away. Maybe you will at least feel some satisfaction with that.

Re: Not motivated to move
there are many exercises. find something you like and then you will enjoy it more. DO they have classes at your gym if so try some and see if you like any. Once you find what you love or love to hate it as in the case of the Vidiots on ADBB you will find your motivation to move.by the book atkinseer
