How do you motivate yourself to get to the gym? I have great intentions all day but by the time I get home..... I just want to put sweats on and eat cookies! I really need to go!!!!!

Re: Motivation
eh... some days I have it and some days I don't. I realize that I gotta go in the am before work at the crack a$$ of dawn.
So right now i'm starting to do just abs at home. Only waking up about 15 min earlier. Then i'm gradually going to increase it until I have enough time to go to the gym.
We'll see how this works.

Re: Motivation
When I come home for lunch, I pack a gym bag and then put it in the car. After I leave work, I go straight to the gym. If I go home first, I won't leave again, so I need to go right away.

Re: Motivation
Bring your workout clothes with you to work and go straight to the gym...this is what I've started to do. No excuses to stay home! (BTW, I have to carry my workout clothes with me on a 15-minute walk to the subway, then on the subway to/from work, then a 20-minute walk to the gym...it can be done!)

Re: Motivation
Thanks! I will try going right after work. Once I'm home and I change into comfy clothes, there is no way to get me to the gym. I guess I will have to start next week hahaha.

Re: Motivation
I go straight to the gym from work, pack my bag and then I'm done with it. My fiance is a trainer so it is helpful. Also, I think if I don't work-out I'll gain weight...works for me.

Re: Motivation
I am training for a half marathon so if I do not go for a run I will not make it on the big day. So I have a schedule that I follow. Maybe if you create an attainable schedule (start out 2 days a week or something) you will feel more inclined to go other days of the week too.
