How do you "want" to get back to exercise?

Asked by Just_Justine (6511points) March 5th, 2010

I went through a period of loving gym. It was great. Then I had a whole bunch of deaths in the family and stress and I packed it in. how do you get the “want to” to carry on? To me the whole schlep of packing a gym bag, remember I am female meaning I need loads of stuff to get ready for work in that bag, the driving there. The standing in queues for showers, the waiting for hairdryer plugs just more work that being at gym itself.

I keep saying to myself I will just “walk” instead. But so far I haven’t. I would prefer to walk in the evening but its dangerous here at night (S.Africa). So that is not really an option. Has any one put together their own exercise program at home that did not call for loads of equipment that worked? Besides I have had the bike that stood there and gathered dust. Is the Wii Program any good? Help I really need to work out but the desire is zero. It needs to be labour intense reduced in terms of getting there to do it. I’d really appreciate some feedback particularly on what you did at home to work out and that you stuck to and got results.
