Your zen habits site is awesome. Great tips. Just start… people should take this tip more, on all aspects of their life, not just working out.

Thanks everyone, for the comments! I’m glad you enjoyed the post.

@Uban Panther: Yes, 2 a.m. is *very* insane! But it takes me an hour to wake up, have coffee, use the bathroom, and eat a little snack before I run … so I had to get up then, or my 3 hr 30 min run would have taken me into the hot Guam sun (it gets hot after 7 a.m. on Guam).

@Jamie: Yes, I’m part of a gym with a babysitting service and it works great. I also trade exercise time with my wife (one watches the kids while the other exercises) or sometimes we’ll get a babysitter. Waking up early also helps.

@Sharon: If you really want to start running, I suggest starting small and going slow. It can be really enjoyable if you stick with it for a few weeks, but it’s hard at first. But if running isn’t for you, try something else that’s more fun! Sports, hiking, rowing, swimming, strength training … anything to get yourself active!

good tips for exercise motivation. I like to walk for my exercise program. my family laughs at me like that doesn't count as exercise. I can walk circles around everyone of them. I always start out small - baby steps (No pun intended) then increase fairly quickly. It feels SO good! BloggerNewbie´s last blog post..6 Required WordPress Plugins

Every successful athelete has used visualization as a tool to help them stay motivated. Just like you need physical preparation before doing something, you need to give importance to mental prep as well.

Here is a post from my blog in addition to what Leo has said:
