Working out
You want to stay excited about working out, you have to create a plan of action that fits your lifestyle and goals. If you have trouble doing it alone, finding a workout buddy can help you stay invested in exercise.
Start small. If you haven't exercised in a year, don't try to exercise for two hours on your first gym visit. Instead, aim for 15 or 20 minutes. Completing the workout will give you a feeling of accomplishment and make you excited about what you can complete on your next visit.
Set a goal. Rather than working out just to lose weight, set a physical goal.
Choose activities you enjoy. If you hate doing aerobics, don't go to the gym for a step class or try to run five miles on the treadmill. Instead, plan a hiking trip, try a rebounding class --- aerobics done jumping on a mini-trampoline

Reward yourself when you achieve a goal or complete a number of workouts. Make your rewards exercise-related.

Read inspiring stories. Fitness magazines often publish stories about ordinary people who have achieved incredible fitness goals. Reading about the success of others can help you get motivated about working on your own fitness.

Make a list of positive things connected to your workout. List immediate rewards --such as "I feel more energized when I exercise" or "Exercise helps with my stress"--- but also future rewards, such as "I'll be more flexible" or "It will reduce my back pain." Print out the list and post it somewhere where you can see it regularly. Thinking about the rewards will make you more excited about the workout.

I hope this helps.
