[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve accepted that the only time of day that I can realistically get a good workout in is early in the morning before work and before the kids are up. Problem is that it takes me a while to wake up and get going. That time of the day is when I have the least amount of energy or will power to actually start a workout. So, I guess I’m looking for some advice from folks that do this. What time are you getting up? Do you workout straight away, or are you waiting / eating breakfast and then doing it? How do you get motivated to start? Does it get easier after a while of doing this. I spend most of the previous day telling self I’m going to workout in the morning, but talk myself out of it as soon as I wake up. [/quote]

I’ll be honest, I didn’t start doing it until my kids could drive themselves to high school.

Here’s what helped:

I’m more of a morning person than a night person anyway, so I’d rather do it at 6:30 in the morning then at 5:30 PM or later after work.
I joined a regular gym where I pay a lot of money for 8 classes a month, with more for a la carte classes, and it annoys me if I miss classes or paid and don’t go 
I joined a women’s only gym so the camaraderie there is pretty nice. 
I’m done by 7:30 AM
I go on days when I don’t also go into the office, except one day a week. 
I go three times a week consistently.  Consistency is the key for me. Unless I’m traveling for work (rare) or sick, I go. 
It’s a high-quality class so I feel like I’m really getting a good weightlifting workout.
