the best thing i've done in the past year is fork over a bunch of money to a personal barbell coach to get my ass up and into the gym on a regular schedule. he also supervises my general cardio routine. i'm simply unable to do it myself without the external personal and financial accountability. but once the money changes hands, i look at it like a business transaction / work and it taps into a different set of motivations in my head. if you've had false starts and other trouble getting on a resistance and cardio program, try hiring a good trainer. if you're intrinsically motivated to be fit, count your blessings.
