I've been trying so hard to get in the habit of exercising for any amount of time on a regular basis, but every time something's managed to break it, something usually involving massive amounts of pain in my legs or chest that make me not do anything for like 3-4 days when it becomes impossible to get motivated to pick up the routine anymore. (My doctor is pretty convinced I'm just accident prone.)

So far the list's included p90 (gave up first day), two different gyms (smelly and old vs. new and clean?), wii fit (this gets boring fast), pilates, walking around, snowboarding (live in LA, don't get much of a chance to go see snow...), swimming, or (really) sex. The last of which is the only thing that happens regularly but isn't enough exercise. Oh well.

I'd love to do something I could actually stick with, but I don't have a huge motivation to do so when clothes still fit (even my teeny weeny not yellow or polka dotted bikini) and I can go up a couple flights of stairs without a problem. I'm pretty surprised to see so many people here are exercising regularly (or maybe they're the only ones answering...:P), maybe I can pick up a few good tips from here :D
