You have to motivate yourself. Start by committing yourself to just 3 weeks. You can do anything for just 3 weeks, right ?

1) Pick a time of day that will be "your time". I do it first thing in the morning, so it's out of the way and no outside distractions. I'm too tired at the end of the day. Try getting up an hour earlier, or just a 1/2 hour.

2) Pick something you enjoy. The best exercise is the one you're willing to do. Try an exercise video. They're cheap, and you can always hit that pause button if you're tired. Check videofitness.com for suggestions.

3) Make a calendar or chart. Each day you complete your program, check it off. Each day you don't exercise is blank. It's discouraging to see those blank spaces, which helps motivation.

By the time your 3 weeks is up, you will started a habit. After that, shoot for 100 days. That's when it's truly embedded.

Good luck!
