Music can help, but it's highly dependent on personal taste. I love all genres but hip-hop beats and high energy playlists help me trudge through my routines.

I like using the calorimeter on the cardio equipment because it can precisely quantify my progress (which is one of the few motivators I have). I've heard criticism that these aren't accurate, but as long as they are precise (I'm sure I'm mixing up the two, apologies) then they can measure progress.

Quantifying everything helps me count down, so I just keep saying "3 sets of 10 and I'm done on this machine". If I feel bored I'll go walk around the track and then do another 3 sets.

All of this is anecdotal noob drivel to anyone who seriously exercises, but I definitely speak from authority as someone who consistently struggles with motivation and has broken through it and relapsed into laziness multiple times.
