Exactly, for most people getting to the gym is the most important thing.

Even for the people who hate to exercise the most, the energy of the gym can cause them to work out.

It is not 1 workout which helps but the habit of working out which can create a healthy life fitness program.

You’re right, the trick is to get into the gym in the first place. For me, having the blog and the accountability is a big part of my trick. Hard to write a post and then not follow up on it. It is working. I now feel guilty when I skip a workout.

so key for ME is the “realizing this wasnt my best workout ever…”piece

I tend to think I ONLY HAVE 20 MINUTES TO WORK OUT SO I WONT EVEN START.

As for tricks… my favorite is the just do 5 minutes trick.

I try to use it when I don’t feel like doing a full workout…

It nigh impossible to stop exercising after just 5 minutes once you get started.
