> How do you keep it up? Personally I find routine to be key. If I run 4 times a week on specific days at specific times, after a few (3) weeks I stop asking my self "Should I go for a run today?" and start telling myself "Monday is a run day" Another very motivating mechanism is community. Have you thought about group sports? I used to row in a crew of 8 people and the thought of letting down 7 friends and a cox/coach is very motivating. The only warning/drawback I would say about team activities is that, in my experience, your life starts to become more and more about the activity. I suspect football, crossfit, basketball, etc all have that sense of community. Finally I don't like blaming external things. If I choose to prioritize doing extra at work/seeing friends over exercising that is my decision (and my right). Instead of "I don't know what I should do" choose a path forward "I am joining a class where can I learn about hurling safely"
