I'm 50 years old, overweight, and unmotivated. I had a triple bypass in August and I'm doing cardiac rehab now. The thing is I HATE HATE HATE working out/exercising. It's boring and tedious. I have to get there at 6 am so I can be at work by 7:30. It's 3 x week. I find myself making excuses not to go. This is a HUGE blockage for me. I know I need to do it but I just hate it.

I do have the option of going at 4 pm after work, but I'm worried I'll be too tired and even less motivated then. I know that I'm painting myself in a corner. I guess I'm telling myself "I can't stand this."

I'm going to bring it up to my therapist on Thurs. But in the mean time, does anyone have advise on this matter. Any techniques to "trick" my mind? It may sound silly, but it has me stumped.
