1. I read this piece of advise somewhere a while back and it makes perfect sense.

After breakfast, or whenever you have chosen your workout time to be, go get dressed for the gym and make yourself go. Tell yourself that you are going to stay for at least five minutes. FIVE MINUTES NO MATTER WHAT! If after 5 minutes you still don't feel like working out, then leave.

You have to get yourself into a routine of getting dressed for the gym, getting to the gym, etc. Once you've gotten dressed and arrived at the gym you've conquered half the battle.

And remember, no matter how slow you exercise you're still doing laps around the person laying on the couch!

Good luck and I wish you the best!
