I've never been a gym goer but I recently found Fit TV on the hotel tv while out of town and had fun working out to something different. Thanks for the link to the online free videos - it does help to do something different sometimes, especially when you're struggling to get moving. :) @Robert, np, it’s true! :)

I used to be a hard-core gym person. I could only get inspired by going to the gym and being right in the middle of all of that energy. Now, I live in the middle of nowhere, where I can't go to the gym. So, I have to be creative. Here are some excellent workouts, to get started: <a href="http://www.veoh.com/users/RealAge" rel="nofollow">FitPack Videos</a> It's just a 20-minute workout. I've found it VERY helpful, on those days, when I don't feel like doing anything. I usually pick the Beginner or Intermediate video. When I don't feel like following along, it may sound ridiculous, but I put on some upbeat music that I enjoy and just dance or do kickboxing moves. Also, I've started hiking a little. (I never thought I would be a "hiker"!) The key, I think, is to find something - ANYTHING - that will keep your heart rate up and at a healthy level, for 20-30 minutes. I try to do this, as many days as possible. From just this little change, over the past few weeks, I've seen some MAJOR improvements. I stay motivated, by changing it up.
