What do you do to get motivated and stay motivated?

[einbert]

Get an intense workout partner.

But you don't sound very intense yourself, so you probably wouldn't be able to hang.

Find some intensity then. You've got to have _some_ survival instinct right? Channel that into your workouts.

If you're gonna half-ass it, you might as well just go play tennis (not that there's anything wrong with that).

I dont really have a choice I'm miserable and moody if I dont stay in shape specifically aerobic training.

Not sure I felt the same way when when all I did was lift when I was younger but swimming and running definetly smooth out the edges.

I dont think vanity is as much a factor as the ability to be functional using your own strenght in your day to day routine also a genuine appreciation of the power and beauty of the human body makes it much easier to stay in shape...

good guy---good point.

i forgot to mention that i think that exercise keeps me off depression meds. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

if you knew me irl you would never ever ever think this to be the case, but i really think the the benefits of aerobic exercise specifically keep me chemically balanced. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

mental health maybe be one of the key motivating factors for more people than we think. later. J.
