I prepare my workout gear in advance so I can eliminate one of the escuses to be lazy. I register myself for classes at my gym and feel committed to go

I am wrong person for this question, I just like excersise and especially if it is short trening I don’t need anything else. If it is more difficult I am starting from something easy and short

Just relax and think of the benefits of doing exercise. Don’t think about doing other things, just focus on that and see if it slowly changes your motivation.

I say to myself: I do it without reasons and this is just a habit. Don’t think and just do it. Even with a question mark in my mind, just do it.

I mostly just think about how I feel when I go out, how my confidence level just lowers from the doubt I have in my body and the way I look. Seeing others be happy and energetic, I want that! Not only that, but exercising releases endorphins which so helps with mental health and physical health and just overall health in general.

When I am feeling lazy I just put on music and dance around the house! It doesn’t feel like exercise to me so I don’t consider it exercise and that makes it easy for me to do when I feel lazy. I notice that dancing makes me want to exercise the next day too!

I do the easiest or most brainless exercise move I can think of! I just need to start and then the rest is good to go so I will get into plank for 30 seconds or do cat-cow yoga pose for a bit. Once the juices are flowing I can keep going!

Personally I would start with a plank and then maybe I will move to some weight lifting ( not much weight of course) . Then if I feel good I can add some more exercises in my routine otherwise I will just move to stretching .

I talk myself into saying how better I would feel. Then I would do an exercise – even if the exercise was just for 5 minutes.

1) determine whether I’m actually lazy or in need of rest 2) remember that pushing through the rut is very goal I’m trying to achieve in order to make a lifestyle change 3) use whatever crutch will keep me on track. Right now it’s playing animal crossing while I stairclimb for 20 minutes.
