This is the first time in a Long time that I have absolutely not wanted to work out. I kept saying, "but I have soo much work to do." Which is ultimately what made me realize that I was dragging my feet about it. I love to put off work. I actually get a sick thrill out of leaving everything 'til the last minute.
The only thing that made me just get up and raise my heart rate was the Walk DVD. My mother sent it to me a while ago when she heard that I needed something to fill my hours, and she knows how much I dislike being in direct sunlight. I was skeptical at first, I admit, but having it as an option really makes it easy to talk myself into getting in an hour of exercise. I would absolutely not have done it if it meant going outside (it's late) and I am giving my legs an extra day off from strength training (I have a killer kettlebell day planned). Anyway, my advice to you is, even if you think that you will never use them, find some DVDs or online follow-along fitness routines to sub in on days you need to shake it up, some incentive or some easy way to talk yourself into working even when you are determined not to. You won't regret it.
