I'm biased because I'm one of those people who feels like he can't live without going to the gym at least every other day. But there are some things to make it easier, putting on my UX hat: * Put your workout clothes on the floor right in front of your house door - can't walk out to work without taking your gym clothes * Find a convenient gym - is it on the same bus/train/car route as you are already taking to get to/from work? * Go to the gym on that route as part of your morning/after work routine. If you have everything you need to workout with you and you're passing by that gym, you have no excuse. Now you just have to get in the gym. * Pick an activity you think you'll enjoy. Or at least try a bunch and see which ones suck the least. Some people like to run, some people like to swim, some people like to lift weights. * Pick a routine for that activity that has a logical progression. Now that you can't avoid the gym and know what you want to do, then pick a routine so you have no question as to what you have to do when you're in the gym. Get a routine as pre-planned as necessary, so you can just go in, do what the routine says, and get out. If you follow the above steps, it should drastically reduce the cognitive effort and strain required to get yourself into the gym.
