Everyone has a certain level of dread for their workout. Whether you love or hate exercise, it’s there. Getting yourself to workout is a lot easier when you love what you’re doing. You just need to find the thing that will get you excited to get moving.

One of the biggest mistakes people make is not having an end goal, or any sort of goal at all. If you’re working out just because it’s what you’re ‘supposed to do’, then you’re not going to enjoy it. Another mistake is forcing yourself to do things you hate. If you have a strong distaste for running, you’re not likely to stick with it for a long time.

-In order to get yourself on track, you need to determine your goal. Do you want to run a 5k? Be able to lift a certain weight? Self evaluate and write it down so you can start making a plan. Another thing you can do is determine what kind of fitness personality you have. Are you introverted or extroverted? Do you prefer working out indoors or outdoors? This will help you figure out what workout is right for you.

My recommendation is to find something that excites you. For example, for me it’s boxing. I always go into class excited to learn something new. Boxing makes me feel empowered and helps me get in shape at the same time. I generally avoid the elliptical because I hate it. This keeps me happy to go to the gym. Working out is all about challenging yourself and feeling good.
