I actually wrote three articles on how and why I've been running for 50 years (https://albertcory50.substack.com/ https://albertcory50.substack.com/ the first three articles). The subject of motivation is considered deeply, since no trick, not even a wager, will keep you doing it more than a couple years (although maybe a bet with a relative will last a while). The overall answer is "whatever works for you." One saying that I've found does impress people is: If you can't find time to exercise, you'll have to find time to be sick. Do you have time to wait on the Customer Support line for your health insurance provider, listening to "Your call is very important to us. Please stay on the line." for half an hour? Didn't think so.
