> MORE embarrassing

I think this is an interesting part. I've absolutely never felt embarrassed working out (no matter how out of shape I am), only about not exercising.

Exercising, for me, involves something of a Stoic (capital S) mentality: discomfort sucks, but it's temporary, and you can accept or even enjoy that aspect. It'll fade into the background soon enough.

Some people like to push themselves, others want the social aspect of team activities, some need a competitive aspect. Maybe the best option is working out with a friend you'd hate to disappoint by not showing up. Figure out what you can use to push yourself, and an activity that you don't hate much. Exploit your own psychology.
