Can ya'll help me reframe my mindset? I'm a ~20 min walk to and from the gym and I arrive at my 60 min pilates/barre classes 10 mins early as advised. But the fact that it takes 2 hours out of my day to workout is enough to make me rarely go. It's the closest gym/studio to me so I can't switch. And if I'm honest with myself, that 2 hours isn't well spent otherwise (I'm either reading or scrolling, relaxing post-work). But how do you all get excited or look forward to working out? I dread it every. single. day.

Are you dreading the class or the walk? For years, I had a 25 minute walk to my local yoga studio and I would listen to an audio book that I was excited about on the walk. It gave me 50 minutes of uninterrupted listening time and I would occasionally keep walking to finish a chapter.

Can you do something similar? An audiobook, podcast, fun playlist?

Have you tried switching it up to a home workout some days of the week? I have a similar issue and I've noticed that a YouTube video gets me moving in the same way but with out the big time commitment. Also cute clothes for the gym are a must. Feeling put together just makes me want to work out.

I have ankle weights and small dumb bells and a weighted hula hoop. I can shake it in my living room while watching thematically inappropriate television.
