Some days it feels almost impossible to get motivated to work out. Maybe you want to sleep in a little later or are too tired after work, perhaps you've got plans with friends and want to spend time getting ready rather than going for a run or maybe your favorite reality show is running its big finale. There are a tonne of excuses to run through that make it easier to allow yourself to skip a workout.

If you're finding that excuses are winning out over exercise on a regular basis, maybe you need some tips on how to stay motivated. Some of the 20 listed in this piece include getting the tough part of the workout over first so that you look forward to the end, book an actual time to workout (maybe with a friend or a trainer) so that you have to show up, pick an exercise routine that you enjoy so that you're more likely to do it and set a goal for yourself and once you reach it, treat yourself to a beauty treatment or a pair of shoes you've been eying.

How do you keep yourself motivated when it comes to working out?
