Hello from a newbie.
I need some tips. I'm newly motivated to finally become healthy and fit. I've been walking durning my breaks at lunch walking 2 nights a week with a freind and hiking every other weekend. As much as I'm proud of my new found enjoyment in eating and living healthfully, I know I need to do some resistance training. I have the tools and I've slotted the time (mornings - 3 days a week) but da--! if I just can't seem to get out of bed!

How do you do it? Are there any tricks? I want to work out but.....

Unfortunately, I don't think there is a trick to it.

I used to always try to run in the mornings and I would drag my butt out the door and trudge along. But I found that if I ran in the evenings I had way more motivation, I blew it off less, I ran faster and farther and with more energy.

You just need to find a time that works for you. If mornings is the only time you can do it then you'll just have to force yourself to do it until it's a habit, to the point that when you don't do it, you miss it.

Does working out in evening wind you up and make it hard to sleep?

Yes actually. I go to the gym at 7pm (I box and that's when our training is so I don't have a choice) and I usually can't get to sleep until after 11.

If I'm on my own, I'll go run or whatever around 5 or 6 and I'll usually be able to sleep by 10.

WOW!

7 am work out?? Very Good!

I think its always better to workout in the morning, for me. You can do evening workouts also but dont do it too close to bed time since it really messes with your sleep.

If you can't get out of the bed... exercise in the bed.

First thing I do when I go to sleep is 100 crunches, 100 leg lifts, 100 pulses of this weird pilates thingy, side lifts, a few planks... Just some stuff that can make me work up a sweat and I don't even get out the bed. When I do, I'm sweating.
