When it comes to exercise, a lot of people have good intentions. But sometimes those intentions get pushed behind other commitments. Sound familiar? I know I'm guilty of procrastinating on exercise from time to time. On an Oprah.com survey, exercise and diet were two activities people frequently reported putting off until later. If you're guilty of it too, try these three ways to stop procrastinating:

• Outsmart yourself. If, after getting home from work, you frequently skip your exercise session because of bills, household chores, or other commitments, try stopping at the gym on the way home. Or change into workout clothes before you leave the office and go for a walk or run as soon as you get home (don't even get the mail or go in the house first).
• Build on your success. If you're good at certain things -- such as handling the demands of your job -- try to find ways to make exercise as important. For example, if you place a high priority on work because others are counting on you to get your job done, consider joining a team sport. Your teammates will count on you to be at practices and games -- it's a lot harder to put off exercise when others are waiting for you.
• Take a good look at yourself. Put a photo of yourself when you were looking and feeling great on your fridge or desktop and take a frequent look in the mirror. It's not narcissism, it's a reality check. Keeping tabs on yourself will make you want to be active and get (or keep) your body in peak condition.

Get over it! Haha, I just always wanted a reason to yell that out. And procrastination, especially in the area of your health, is as good a reason as any. Do you have a problem with procrastinating and just taking forever to really get started with all your lofty health and fitness goals? I do, totally. Once I'm going I'm usually able to stick with it for awhile and see some good results, but getting started is the real problem for me.

The reasons why people procrastinate can vary wildly, but I must say I agree with this take on it over at Cranky Fitness, which basically says that procrastinators aren't necessarily the lazy bums they're made out to be. You can be an awesome procrastinator and still be a very productive person -- just not in the desired target areas! So what's the issue? Well only you can answer that question, but it could be something as simple as being afraid of failure (that's when a good solid "get over it!" might help, and the realization that you're already failing by not even trying) or even that you're simply not expecting to enjoy it so you're putting it off for other things.

Try these tips they suggest to help "get over" your own procrastination issues:
