In same boat. My hubby is in great shape and has never had to worry about exercise- he just does it!! I used to get up at 5:00 a.m. to work out. It worked for me for many years until I started working another job(that i love) but at the end of the day it's like there is a mountain of household work to do and exercise is too hard to even think about.

Don't be too hard on yourself- you know housework burns calories too! All you need is 30 minutes of "brisk" exercise; going for a walk/walking the dog, cleaning up around the house (put some tunes on and get busy!), doing a exercise tape at home, walk up and down some stairs - it can be really easy to get in that 30 minutes somewhere. I could never find the time before or after work so I made my lunch hour my time and then I eat at my desk afterwards.

Hope this helps!!

I'm still in my first week and I've found the end of the day is always hardest. I get home after work and the last thing I want to do is go to the gym, especially with so much housework to be done.  I keep telling myself that I should get up early in the morning and go but I never do. I like this idea of a reward system so I think I may use that to get me into the gym regularly. Any other thoughts of how to get motivated to exercise, or simple routines I could maybe do in my living room?  I think it will be helpful to me to talk to people in the same situation because my live-in boyfriend is in great shape, he's supportive but can't understand my lack of motivation.
