wondering if I should go to the gym tonight. I know I should, but I have Zero motivation.
Just go anyways, get it done!

I've been doing early morning workouts, mostly weight training. I'm way too out of shape but even I feel a bit more energetic during the day.

I tried to wake up early this morning because I also feel better throughout the day but man this morning was rough. I still want to work out and not use that as an excuse to not go but it's so easy to procrastinate and forget about it.

I would be in the same boat. So I roped one of my friends/coworkers into working out with me. We have keys to the campus gym so it just kind of works out.

Jump roping is a good way to get motivated.

I've been wanting to give that a try.

I go 3 or 4 times a week before work... at the gym from 5:30am to 6:30am, roughly. I think that's the best time to do it. I never would have started going at those time if it wasn't because it was either then, or not at all... but now if I could go back and choose when to go, it would be at that time. It's great to start your day that way, even if it's harder to wake up.

Try like just 5 minutes of a jog on the elliptical trainer or treadmill, after your workout. Then over the weeks/months, slowly increase it by a minute at a time, but no more than 15 minutes.

@rojoloco The Soft Bulletin is prob one of the best music albums of the last 30 years after Yoshimi. I have the Super Audio CD of both, plus the 5.1 dvd of them.

I can barely do 5 mins on elliptical non stop. so I don't see myself going past 15 mins. Cardio goes after work out?
I was under the impression It was first. -

OH ok. I thought there were "rules". I think that's why I'm scared of gyms. Because I'm scared to make a fool out of myself.

It really depends on the type of workouts you doing and how many times you are working out each week.

One day I went into a Pilates class thinking it was easy stretching. That class wrecked me, it was hard.

I was under the impression It was first.If you weight train, you want to do cardio after. It's dangerous to wear yourself out before lifting weights.
Also, technically speaking, lifting weights is better than cardio, so long as you do it right (like keep heartrate up, etc).
Cardio after a workout also helps to "clean out the burn" from working out. Without getting into any real detail... When you lift, your muscles work and release certain chemicals. Keeping your heartrate up (like cardio) after your weight lifting workout is beneficial.

I still struggle with most the simple plank form, especially after doing other workouts.
