When you don't feel like exercising, how do you get yourself to do it anyway?

A natural way to answer

I find that having a routine helps me a lot. If I exercise at the same time every day, I don't have to rely on motivation. It just becomes a habit, and I stick to it without thinking.

Key phrases to use

• get out the door — to actually leave the house to go and do something“Once I'm out the door, the run is easy; it's getting out the door that's hard.”
• stick to it — to keep doing something and not give up“Starting a habit is easy; sticking to it is the hard part.”
• wriggle out of something — to avoid doing something you should do, using clever excuses“He always tries to wriggle out of doing the washing-up.”
