I tried all kinds of things, gym, etc.. Did not stick to it.. I have two dogs, they have to be walked, so I started walking, adding weights , etc.. Now I actually enjoy doing it

It’s different for everyone.

If there was a specific fool proof formula we would all look perfect.

U literally have to find what works for you.

All I can suggest and bring into this is that it takes discipline and consistency.

Sometimes it doesn’t even look how you think it does or should.

You have to figure out how to build your muscles for consistency and showing up for yourself everyday.

For me that’s through a planner. Not at an actual gym yet.

I powerwalk-jog every morning…
September last year, an event happened in my life that made me choose to improve on that. I jog 3.5 miles every morning now and since then
I’ve all but cut out sugars.. a hard evil to break… was for me
Sugar is the devil and the root cause of SOOOO many health issues…
Portion size for meals is another thing I slowly adjusted to as well as eating better..
I didn’t say great. lol. But better..
I also started doing weights again as well. This for toning mostly…
But it was day by day to eventually become routine

I've tried many times and haven't figured out the best solution for me. Time for me has always been an issue (but not an excuse). Hopefully in retirement next year I will finally figure it out. 😊
Everyone is different and I always found that if I had a workout partner, it always helped.

i have a workout addiction going on -i think others are worse than I am but for me things that help feed it are

1) doing activities that i like --like cycling and burpees

2) Not regulating it to blue dot and pink dot things. for example i do yoga and pilates. and i don't care if it makes me appear feminine. (which is silly for the record)

3) I eat a high veggie diet light on meats almost never drink / no recreational drugs outside of caffine.

4) I have a workout room in the house--i don't have to commute to the gym / don't that barrier to getting a workout in

5) I use youtube a lot--follow along with classes.

I think those 5 things help me the most but I am sure some of it happens to be intrinsic / not extrensic.

I think like everything else, through repetition. Get your body conditioned to a dopamine response from working out.

Perhaps you have to work up to it slowly: food addiction first, then drugs, then workout.

depends on your motivation and energy levels

i think people are driven by how hot and healthy they'll be
