I have been sharing with folks what I do to get excited to stay in shape. I want to know what other people do to get fired up about their exercize routine. Do you have a group of friends who support you? Are you strict with yourself? I am definitely a laid back person who loves to exercise, and people look at me like I'm crazy when I suggest some physical activity while everyone else is going "what do you wnat to do? I don't know what do you want to do?" They don't understand how upset I get when people say " I want to lose weight" but then they don't do anything about it.

here's a suggestion, ask him/her who among the hollywood actor/actress he/she admire when i comes to body shape, have that picture always, when he/she is lazy doing his/her workout show him/her the image and use to motivate the person....i use this when i feel lazy, i just look up john cena, flex lewis and james cutler poster on my room and yeah it keeps me motivated to push my butt in the gym..

That is a great way to get excited. I do the same thing. I've made collages where I glue my head onto a photo of someones body who has the type of muscle tone and shape that I want. I try not to compare myself to celebrities because my subconcious won't accept the suggestion because I know that most of the photos are doctored. I take it you like to pump iron. I enjoy weightlifting myself.
