I am not sure if that helps you, a tech salary (or similar) might be necessary to pull it off this way : I am not exactly disciplined, I have thought for years about working out instead of actually doing it. Until one year ago. I have started working with a trainer. It is insanely expensive BUT it helps a lot in establishing a routine. The exercises themselves are pretty standard, but having somebody to give you a program adapted to your current condition and to correct your movements help tremendously. I have changed from not working out to working out 4-5 times a week.

That's exactly what did it for me, too. Except it wasn't a trainer, but a Couch to 5k like podcast. I found one that was much much more beginner friendly than C25k and also gave a strength and rest plan. Using the podcast and seeing hte weeks go by has made me much more motivated to get out and run, even on wet 5 degree centigrade days, let alone the 30 degree days. Just something to hold yourself accountable to, really. I've also found it's why many of my other projects/ideas/desires don't pan out. There's nothing to hold me accountable, so I get bored and move on. It sucks, because it feels like I'm trapped in a rutt, but I don't know of a way to really manage that.

  Last year I started a "streaking" program. You have to run at least one mile every day for a year. Eventually it becomes a habit like coffee. Once you get so many days in you don't want to break the streak. I went 430 days without a day off. Worth a try.
