Step 1 is actually finding the things that work for you. Your step 2 is the exact opposite of what works for me. Mine would be:
2. Find a way to work out by yourself, where no one else is aware. Cycling makes this incredibly easy, but I also drive back to the office at 7pm to use the empty gym for weightlifting. I work hardest when I’m only accountable to myself.
3. Find why you like exercise. I love it when I’m already stressed out, but if life is fine and easy I don’t excessive. Create stress so that working out can resolve it.
- Jtsummers 6y agoAnd for someone in between. I can run or bike solo every day and push myself to new personal records (though I never did break the 23 minute barrier on a 5k run). But strength training (primarily bodyweight) and yoga (picked up after a back injury left me crippled for a good chunk of a year), for me, require some other factor for me to stick with it for more than a month or so at a time (which is better than none, but doesn't help me get where I want to be). Taking a class got me to push myself much further and harder than I ever did solo, and these days I'm making do with online classes because they keep me going in a similar way (though without the same social commitment since it's not actually social).
- taeric 6y agoFor me, the biking and running is trivial to start and obligates you to finish. That is, if half way through a ride you want to stop... Well, you still have to get home. Weights? You just put them down and you are done.

- ogre_codes 6y agoMuch like you, I found it's most important to find exercise that I enjoy. Cycling, yoga, kayaking, hit that button for me, but others like different things.
