Making it a routine, it doesn’t have to be sometime big, work your way up. Wake up in the morning- couple pushups or whatever you’d prefer. Want to go get a fun drink or scroll on your phone for a while? Okay but a small exercise first. Hold your self accountable, things get easier the more that you do it and if you already have a routine/time set a side and scheduled for it. There’s lots of small excersizes that you can do without weights and quickly in your room or wherever

Make it fun I like going on hikes instead of going to gyms

Also, having someone to hold you accountable and encourage you to work out that you can go for runs or hikes and be active with makes things more fun and easier to keep up with

Actually get yourself to enjoy it instead of seeing it as a chore. Set goals to motivate yourself to look forward to it and see your progress

it's less motivation and more discipline. i've weighed 130 and been at 200 then back to 170. i would have gotten there without realizing "motivation" isn't going to get me there. it helps, for sure!!! but it's discipline (in my experience ofc)

I just watch videos/shows and lift weights in my room and do jumping jacks while waiting for the microwave or tea to steep and stuff like that. Just shove it in with other stuff where it doesn’t get in the way

Yeah even just going on a walk around the neighborhood and spotting squirrels and birds is fun :)
