You know you need to work out, but you’re having trouble getting up the enthusiasm. How do you find motivation to exercise when you just don’t feel like getting off your butt? I ask myself this question every now and then, and I have the feeling I’m not the only one.

There are a million ways to motivate yourself to exercise, actually, but these are a few that have worked for me.

• Have fun
• How you feel after a workout
• Calories burned
• How you’re going to look
• Change it up
• Get a buddy
  
• An exercise log/graph
• Get appropriate clothing
• Pack Ahead of Time
• Have a Goal
• Success stories
• Reward Yourself
