<p>It's hard to tell, everyone gets motivated by different things... Anyway, what works for me goes along the following;</p>
<ol>
<li>Having clear, attainable goals;</li>
<li>Tracking your workouts/measurements so you can have a clear picture of your progress;</li>
<li>Finding a workout buddy who has similar goals;</li>
<li>Getting involved with varying activities, i.e. jog for week, cycle for another, try swimming - variety is key for your success;</li>
<li>Going outside - if weather permits, go to the park instead of the gym - you'll see new people, enjoy fresh air, and maybe get a suntan!</li>
<li>Get some really good music into your iPod - it makes wonders, especially when you're doing some cardio... Motivating songs help you reach that extra mile!</li>
<li>Find the best time for you to exercise - at morning, I can't lift a feather, my peak performance is reached around mid-day.</li>
<li>Stay groomed - it really pays off when you're bending necks @ the gym!</li>
</ol>
<p>Well, that's it, hope it helps!</p>
<p>Peace,
Roland</p>
