It is a clear day, with but a few, bulbous clouds floating in the sky; there is a very mild, albeit very comforting breeze. The sand is warm, and the heat of the sun strokes your skin. Up ahead, a fair maiden, with a chest that would make Xerxes himself bow down and call her master, approaches. Now, do you wish you had been hitting up the gym in the weeks, months, leading up to this moment?

Glad to be of service. We all need goals, and what better goal than ensnaring mystical, buxom babe in the not-so-distant future!

A good motivational tool for me has been registering for an event. I'm talking about getting a buddy and you both signing up for a 10k race, or a Triathlon, whatever.

10k's are the cheapest, as all you need is a pair of shoes basically. Set your sites about 3 - 4 months out, because even though you might be able to gain the endurance quicker, you certainly don't want to stop afterwards. Plus, try getting up to 6+ miles too quickly and you'll injure yourself if you're >35.

Stopping after that first race will be the tough part. So, immediately before the big race you should sign up and pay for another one. This time the goal is to do better than this run by say, 10% faster.

At the point of the next race, move up to a 1/2 marathon (13.1 miles). Sign up, pay, etc. and train. Remember, all you want to do is finish it. It won't matter if you take a few walking breaks, just finish it.

By then, you'll most likely be hooked and amazed at how easy it is to run 4 - 5 miles, 4x a week. Now, plan to crosstrain with weights 2 days a week and you'll be gold!

motivations:
turkey-neck (double chin) + receding hair line= Rosy Odonell dates.

--man-boobs.
--fat AND bald=loser/lazy/pathetic image; george costanza.
---having the ability to look down and see your "golf club" (no buzz ref.) in the morning.

having a double chin/fat face REALLY exemplifies a receding hair line...

Thats a great idea. Scheduling your gym time and doing whatever is possible to make yourself go is the best motivation. The rumor is that 19-21 times without skipping an "appointment" makes this a habit.

I wouldnt recommend everyday, though, or you run the risk of another long layoff after burning out on going. So pace yourself, the trick is to make it regular, scheduled visits.
Every other day works good. You can take your off day and do something different. (Riding your bike, running, whatever)

I'm working on making it into 19-21 times every other day. I'll start today.
