Whether it's your busy schedule, love of relaxing at home, or apprehensions about the gym, you find it difficult to get into a steady exercise routine. You understand that the benefits of exercise are important enough to make it a priority, but when other things come up, your exercise ambitions often get tossed by the wayside.
Try these tips to turn your inhibition into ambition:
· Pencil it in Take a look at your schedule and write down all the opportunities you have to get active. If possible, try to find a consistent time slot. If that means you will have to get up when everyone else in your house is sleeping, try it for a couple weeks and see if your body can handle the shift. Or if your lunch break is your only free time, start by planning your lunchtime workouts ahead of time so that you can be sure to put the hour to good use.
· Do what you love If you don't enjoy time spent sweating on the treadmill, it's time to find something new. If you have already invested money in a course or gym that you no longer wish to use, try pleading with the manager. If they won't give you a refund, vow to find a new activity that's free or relatively cheap. It's better to get into a regular walking routine than to sporadically attend the high-intensity boxercise class you dread.
· Set your goals Determine what you would like to accomplish with your exercise routine. If increasing the frequency is your main goal, set your schedule, tell your family and associates that you are booking the time off for yourself and promise yourself that exercise will be a high-ranking priority.

Hey Robyn, I think PARTICIPANT should be the key word here - even if you don't jump at joy at the thought of exercising - you are miles ahead of those people who feel the same and then don't get up and do it!!
.....can we use this as QOTW?? ("I've had the life sucked out of me and am feeling blah", LOL)
I knew it- my result was-
