How do you stay motivated to exercise regularly?

Nomad
You need to exercise regularly to reap the benefit of exercise. However, a lot of people fail to exercise regularly. Things like setting specific, achievable goals, varying your routine to keep it interesting, finding a workout buddy or joining a fitness class for accountability, rewarding yourself for reaching milestones, and focusing on the positive changes you see in your body and mood can motivate you to exercise regularly.
 
Just keep reminding yourself that each time you work out you are getting more fit and stronger. You are building up your immune system, increasing your energy level, getting more muscle mass, burning calories and getting leaner, boosting your hearts overall strength, tightening your ligaments and tendons, increasing your bone density, and becoming more flexible, and you are beginning to look better too.
 
Staying motivated to exercise consistently is an ongoing challenge, but a few things help keep me on track. First, I try to find physical activities I genuinely enjoy, like hiking or playing sports, rather than just slogging away on a treadmill. But mostly, it's about focusing on how much better I feel mentally and physically when I'm active regularly.
 
It is important to set up small and achievable milestones along the way because this will help to keep track of your progress and it will also go a long way to help you stay motivated. Celebrating this smallest victory as you have achieved them can be one of the way to boost your confidence and keep you motivated.
 
From where I stand, I recognize that motivation would help to stay perfectly normal throughout the exercise process and when you are feeling less motivated, it is very much okay to take a break or to modify your workout to something that is easy to manage.
Yes, like myself one way I tend to feel motivated is when I try out some of my old cloths that no longer fits and I find out that they now fit, it's a huge motivation for and it encourages me to keep pushing.
 
I no longer need motivation to train, at first I do, but it has already become a habit, seeing my improvement both physically and in health is my main fuel for training.
You have a point. When someone is just starting out on something, he will definitely need motivation to keep going. But as time goes on he gets used to doing that thing to the extent he does not need to be motivated anymore.
