The anticipation,the planning before,the pushing yourself and especially the sad truth that it's much needed and good for you, is probably what makes it impossible to exercise. It's our innate nature to hate anything good for us. Broccoli ring a bell. The problem is that without burning calories you can't lose weight. And without losing weight you can't fit into that dress you have always wanted to or those skinny jeans that everyone's wearing.

You have to overcome the first hurdle. Putting on your jogging shoes and getting out of the house is the key. Once you start you have to zone yourself out. Stop thinking about the actual act of jogging. Instead think about a person you hate. Think of your boss who bullies you or a girl who gets on your nerves or a guy who is full of himself. Focus on them and their irritating habits. Focus all your energy in thinking hateful things that made you so mad that you wanted to kill. And before you know you would've run a mile or so.

Next you think about an upcoming social event and the dress you're planning on wearing. Focus on the envious faces of all the girls when they see you with a flattering figure. Think of the shock and awe you will create. The compliments you'll receive. Focus on that and another half a mile would fly away.
trois:
Always begin with a end point or a goal in mind. You should know where you want to end. It can be a time limit or a particular distance. Don't be too ambitious. If you think you're capable of running for a mile and half then keep a mile as a target. The extra half mile will make your day and make you think you're the king of the world. Just before reaching your end point put on the most upbeat,patriotic or motivating song that has ever moved you in your life. That will take you another half a mile beyond your target.
Be sure to cool your body down by walking. That makes you work out for a few more yards. It gives you such a mood lift that you will feel you will be able to take on the whole world. Not to mention that pent up anger that you had gnawing your insides would have evaporated.
LOL. deux is what works for me truly. The event and the clothes. They are my ultimate goal.
