  How you view exercise is a very important indicator of how often and how hard you will work out. I know that most of the time I really enjoy getting exercise. Of course the fact that I exercise outdoors most of the time is a very important part of the way that I feel about exercise. You know what? I will tend to watch the time on the machine when working out indoors. When I am on a bike or working out doing something where physical movement is involved then the only thing I care about with time is when my next meal will be but when I am in the bedroom on gym equipment I only wonder if I will be done soon. The problem is that indoor exercise to me is just an interruption in the rest of my day instead of being a fulfilling part of the day. How do you feel when you work out? Do your watch the clock or live in the moment of the exercise? There is a great thing that you can do to make the exercise go a bit better when you are working out and having a bit of trouble like I am. The first thing is to visualise yourself being outside and actually riding a bike or running. See very clearly where you are going what kinds of sounds and smells are around and keep the pace in your head that you are doing on the equipment. The creative effect of this in itself is worth it and will make you feel a lot better about your workout. This method is great because it actually breaks up your day and allows you to be in a kind of dreamtime for that short period so you get exercise and actually get to play with your mind while doing it.
