Find a buddy to work out with. And if you like competing, it can be with anyone  whether or not they are with you or not.\n\nHave you tried Yourself!Fitness? It is for Windows, Xbox, and PS2. It is customized routine that is based on what you can do. It features Yoga for cool down too. The Virtual Trainer likes to try motivate you and keep you coming back day after day.\n\nYou could try just roller blading or jump rope. Two very easy ones. Boxers use the latter to stay in shape and it is a good cardio exercise.\n\nBut most of all,  get a buddy to join you.

Exercise - get moving, and eat healthy foods! Regular exercise increases your strength and energy levels.\n\nFatigue can also be psychological. You need clear goals and positive people in your life to motivate you into action. Read the article below about developing purity of purpose.

1. Find something you love doing and go for it!\n\n2. If you have to do something you are not so keen on, you have to develop motivation by thinking of the goal or payoff you get from it.\n\nFor example, if you have to clean out the garage and have been putting it off, just imagine how you would feel when the garage is clean, the junk thrown away. What a relief you would feel. If you can see the desired objective, imagine it vividly, and make it seem real and concrete, you will be more inspired to do the necessary work to reach your goals.\n\n3. Define your goals specifically, your time frame, and the steps you have to take to reach your goals. Making your objectives specific and measureable go a long way in keeping you on track.\n\n4. Take small steps and celebrate each milestone toward your goal. For example, you want to reduce your wieght, but haven't been able to keep on a diet. Make a plan to reduce a few pounds each week, measure your progress on a chart, and celebrate your success on meeting each weekly goal (but not by eating, of course!).

Do some stairs climbing (real stairs, many, many levels)\n\nDo some squats, with weights if possible - a barbell on your shoulders or dumbbells on each sides of your body. 3 sets of 6 reps , 3 times with a good break in between (3 sets at the beginning of your Workout, 3 sets in the middle, 3 sets at the end)\n\nDo some leg-extensions (on the machine, at the Gym)\n\nAnd run, run, run. 50, 100, 200, 400 yards are good distances. (yes, one after the other, and the reverse too !) \n\nso : 50yds, break\n100yds, break\n200yds, break\n400yds, break\n200yds, break\n100yds, break\n50yds, break\n\nEnjoy !\n\nPS.

Join the club, my friend!  :o)\n\nThe best advice I've heard is to find an activity you enjoy that will get you moving.  Exercise doesn't have to be boring workouts or weight lifting.  It could be dancing, walking, bike riding, swimming, tennis or anything you would enjoy doing.  It's also best to have someone to do it with so you stay motivated.

I dunno...but when you find out, let me know! \n\nHow about picking up the latest issue of People Magazine with the "Half their size" people.  That always motivates me, at least temporarily.  \n\nI used to have motivational posters around the house too.  If possible, find a friend who is willing to check in on you periodically who will help keep you motivated.  It's hard I know...but once you lose the weight and keep a lifestyle of eating better and exercising, you'll feel sooo much better.

Sit ups, leg raises, side bends and touch your toes. Dont try and do too many too soon, start of what you are compfortable with like ten of each and gradually increase the number say each week. A good way to start exercising is to work out what time of day/night you'll have the time to do them and make sure you do it each day.  You'll be surprised at the progress you make in the amount of exercise you can do over even a month. make a chart up to see your progress to help you stay motivated and mayby after a couple of months you could start push ups and walking, mayby even jogging and it wont cost you anything but self commitment.

I find the best motivation for exercise is to start just that once. Activity begets activity and once I get back into things I am more enhtusiastic about exercise and I find it more enjoyable.\nAnother suggestion is to get a workout / exercise partner. If you have made a commitment to somebody else you're more likely to stick to it than if you are only letting yourslef down. Arrange to meet a friend for a walk or a game of something or a gym workout. You can be social as well as fit.\n\nGood luck

Get fat. That's what I'm going through now. If it hurts enough, you'll do it. \n\n1. Find what motivates you to do other stuff. Is it fear? Is it appreciation from other people? Helping people? What excites you? \n\n2. Use that and put it into working out at the gym. \n\n3. You can also go to the gym with a friend and have that person bug you about going. \n\n4. Get your friends or siblings to remind you how fat you are.

First of all you have to debunk the notion that you have to get fit for others. You have to have an attitude that you are doing this for yourself not for anybody else. Set your goals according to what will make you happy, not what will elevate you in others' eyes.\n\nAny safe exercise is good for you. Don't quit! You'll see the results soon
