I enjoyed this article.
I am an occasional gym-goer, and I work out w/a personal trainer twice a week, but I've found that nothing beats getting up early and running in the cool morning air. I do, however, second that it's all about those first steps - getting on the shoes and closing the door. I have every thought about going back to bed, to the softness of the pillow; but I concentrate on how good I'll feel afterward.
So my answer to #5 is to bite the bullet and get moving before you shower each morning.
And, although I have about 20 pounds to lose, I feel strong, graceful and energetic when I run, and that's what I concentrate on, for now. My mood is a million times better, and I find that I don't dread beginning my day. Right on - this article is full of good tips.
I also agree w/the theory that every exercise counts. I'm a big advocate of kaizen (small consistent steps that lead to big change over time). And if you start small and hang in there, you have a much better chance of staying in the game.
