I found the tedium of exercising in the gym very demotivating until I discovered the rounding up principle. The idea that improving activity should require a change in either time, regularity , intensity or activity was rounded up to the next goal.
For example if you have done two kilometres in twenty five minutes and two kilometres was your goal round up the time to thirty minutes. Alternatively if you have spent thirty minutes as a goal and scored 5.6 kilometres on the rowing machine round it up to 6 Km
This can be based on the number of steps or the number of reps when weight training. Add another activity (if you have completed x number in 20 minutes ) by using a new set of weights or gym machine.
The aim is to keep rounding up various goals to the next time, intensity activity or regularity. Each time you do this it requires little extra motivation but when accumulated builds phenomenal progress in your fitness programme.
