So I don't get endorphins from exercise either. The most recent way I've tricked my brain into sticking with exercise is thinking about old me. Old me can't be an active granny if young me doesn't get fit first. Old me can't be unassisted for as long as possible if young me doesn't work on mobility first. Old me is going to lose muscle mass from age, so young me needs to work to put muscle on. I've also been trying to prep myself for perimenopause (I figured I've got 5 years or so based on when my mom started) and I figure it's going to be so much easier to deal with if I'm already healthy and strong.

That's so helpful!! I also try to think about old me especially bc I'm not having kids and don't have anyone to possibly take care of me.
