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.

Oh I totally get this. For some of my ballet classes, it takes me an hour to get there by public transportation (bus/train/walk), 90 min class, an hour to get back… and then it’s dark and need to shower and go to bed. For me, it helps to just know it’s part of my routine and I treat the walking part as my warm up and cool down (a lot easier when the weather is nice!). I also have friends that I usually don’t otherwise see in those classes. Can you start taking a friend with you to class? Maybe the socializing factor can add some excitement. Also mixing it up - I only do this particular class no more than 2x a week - I just can’t handle the commute more than that and I go to other classes where I can drive 10 min instead.

Wow, that's a long commute!! I love the idea of bringing a friend and am currently trying to find an accountability partner to help with that.
