I do agree with you. I haven’t been a sports person, but since I start to practice boxing and yoga I have been able to stick with these for months. I do it once a week for one hour and a half, and the time flies without being notice. For me something that drive me to work out is notice changes on my body and the feeling of well-being after exercise myself. To avoid laziness I paid in advance my classes, and I take my sports wear to go to the gym right after work.

I mean, for me, I truly love the violence. The "bang". It's great! I enjoy the sport itself, while I do it.... the punching and kicking... damn! It's really cool.

I've always found running or lifting weights rather boring, though I did it for years. At any rate, doing any kind of exercise is better than none at all.

Do whatever suits you!

Ok, on a serious note, I did learn to grapple waaaaaaaaaay back in the day. I HATED the warm up but the actual grappling was fun and the same with taekwondo, hated the warm up but sparring was awesome. I agree, weights are sooooo boring.

@ Dogo:

I went to a couple of grappling/jiu-jitsu/krav-maga classes, but never really got into it. That being said, I can definitely see the value in it.... I guess I'm just more of a striker.

At any rate, exercise is more about consistency... seeing results is a long term affair. And it's much easier to get there if you do something you love.

Who says I don't enjoy running? My motivation is trying to run further and faster - beating my own personal records (I'm such a Nazi) but sometimes it's just hard to get out there.

I'm over the "jogging" stage!! Best work out that won't damage your knees, I'd have to say is rollerblading OR swimming!!!

That's true, I have hurt my knees a couple of times but that was at the beginning. When your muscles are weak, you're looking at a lot of injuries; I think it's what detracts people from running: injuries. Overall, though, I'd say my joints are stronger. I have twisted my ankles to extreme points and no injury (knock on wood ) And before, everytime I kneeled, me knees would crack; I hated that. Now, because my leg muscles are stronger, my knees don't crack.

I would love to go rollerblading. And swimming? Pfft, don't get me started, I love it! I'm kinda sucky at it but I love it. So jogging is what's readily available and FREE!! Me loooooves free stuff.

@ Genie, hmmm... I dunno about buying smaller sizes, I honestly don't see myself going any smaller. This is me limit - it's me bones - they're thick (bastards!).

Bainaman · Foro Master

Even though I've always been on the heavier side......My weight tends to fluxuate very rapidly. I can drop 20 lbs just as easily as I put it back on.

Right now I'm the heaviest I've ever been......and I'm seriously feeling the effects of the extra weight.

The whole gym/workout motivation thing is the hardest.

Once I start.....I'll go for months non-stop.....but the ONE DAY I miss it.......that's it.

Won't go back for months. Why is that?!?!?!?

AAAAWWWWRRRGGGG!!!!!

and also i have my brothers wedding in august so thats great motivation!!!

I did something similar but I didn't buy new clothes.. I had an old pair of pants that are a couple inches smaller in the waist. I kept promising myself I'd lose the pounds to fit back in them again, what happened? They sat in my drawer for yeeeearrrs. But last summer I lost enough weight to fit back in them again but I had already donated them to charity at that point.... plus they were probably out of style.

Sometimes you're just all pumped to workout and then end up doing something else entirely different *cough* MJ *cough*. How do you just muster up the energy to go out and DO something? I tried to eat as light as possible, kinda hard when you have fat food for dinner (KFC). For those worker outters, what drives you?
