| | | | I hate working out. Obviously, I know it's important for your health — I do work at Healthline afterall. But it's just so … blah. I'm always counting down the seconds until I'm done and able to do something, ya know, fun! | | Maybe I just haven't found the right workout routine yet. But I'm dying to know how others stay motivated to exercise. Please tell me you have some tips. | | Before we dive deeper into my anti-fitness journey, here are three stories I picked out for you: | | | | Be well,

| |  | | | How do you motivate yourself to exercise? | | I've spent 10+ years trying to find "fun" exercises in hopes of inspiring consistency. | | Signing up for different gym memberships, running along beaches, biking, hot yoga, training Brazilian jiu-jitsu — you name it, I've done it. But nothing keeps me hooked. I genuinely enjoy going for hikes and walks, and even though I love the views and fresh air, it still feels like a chore like I *need* to be doing it. | | Should the health benefits of exercising keep me motivated? Probably. Working out does give me energy, boosts my mood, and feels rewarding when I see myself toning up. It can also be a great coping strategy, but it's really hard for me to stay physically active when I'm stressed or overwhelmed. I feel extra down because I know I'm not doing myself any favors by being inactive! Ugh. | | I want to hear from you: Which workouts do you enjoy most? And what motivates you to stay consistent, especially when you truly don't want to do it? Chime in at wellnesswire@healthline.com! | | | | | | | |
