mis métodos favoritos

de no faltar al gym (cortesía de MensHealth.com. Sí, me suscribo):

1. Compete
   Find a sport or event that you enjoy, and train to compete in it. "It adds a greater meaning to each workout," says Alex Koch, Ph.D., C.S.C.S., an exercise researcher (and competitive weight lifter) at Truman State University. Consider training for the World Master's games in 2005 (www.2005worldmasters.com), an Olympics-like competition for regular guys. Events include basketball, rowing, golf, triathlon, and weight lifting.
2. Start a streak
   There's nothing like a winning streak to attract fans to the ballpark. Do the same for your workout by trying to set a new record for consecutive workouts without a miss. "Every time your streak ends, strive to set a longer mark in your next attempt," says Williams.
3. Go through the motions
   On days when you don't feel like working out, make the only requirement of your exercise session a single set of your favorite exercise. "It's likely that once you've started, you'll finish," says Rachel Cosgrove, C.S.C.S. If you still don't feel like being in the gym, go home. This way, you never actually stop exercising; you just have some gaps in your training log.
4. Don't do what you hate
   "Whenever you start to dread your workout, do what appeals to you instead," says John Raglin, Ph.D., an exercise psychologist at Indiana University. If you loathe going to a gym, try working out at home. (Check the Men's Health Home Workout Bible for ideas.) If you despise the treadmill, then jump rope, lift weights, or find a basketball court. Bottom line: If you're sick of your routine, find a new one.
5. Squat first
   If you have trouble finishing your weight workout, start with the exercises you dread. "You'll look forward to your favorite exercises at the end of your workout, which will encourage you to complete the entire session," says John Williams, C.S.C.S., co-owner of Spectrum Conditioning in Port Washington, New York.

Ya se que la 4 y 5 son medio contradictorias, pero si no funciona una funciona la otra. Las primeras son las mejores: voy para jugar mejor al basket y al fútbol, en este momento llevo 17 días hábiles consecutivos sin faltar, miles de veces me puse los cortos armé el bolso y salí de casa en piloto automático, sin ganas, para ir, trotar un rato y volver y terminé laburando como cerdo.
