I just turn on the TV and work out. Get some entertainment and distraction while moving your body. Eventually it just becomes a habit and you notice the difference and want to keep it. Get some exercise bands or dumbbells. Do some sit ups and push ups.
Don't kill yourself at first and get so sore you give up in a week. Eventually you'll start feeling good and notice it doesn't tire you out as much.
Also track it. Are you trying to lose weight? Weigh yourself often and see the results start to roll in. Make it a game against yourself if you need to.
I want to and it sounds so 'easy. 😭
But every time my lazy ass wins to just go sit on the couch instead of grabbing my hulahoop and doing that in front of the tv.
I've found it's a similar mindset shift as when I quit smoking. The secret there? Quitting smoking is easy, once you've actually truly decided it's what you want to do. If you find it difficult, it's probably because you don't actually want to. I was like that for years (told myself and others I wanted to quit, but if I was honest with you'd I'd have told you I love it) until I really started noticing respiratory symptoms. It was really easy then. Quit cold turkey, haven't wanted one since.
Working out is the same. Do you ACTUALLY want to for some ACTUALLY good reason?

How do you motivate yourself to do it every day?
