Getting and keeping yourself motivated in your 30s and beyond

[NipplezTheClown]

As for motivation, maybe come up with a new active hobby. I've always had active hobbies, and they tend to change over the years as I get bored of one and pick up another. Nothing wrong with that unless it's your job. I did martial arts as a kid, street hockey and aggressive inline skating when I was a bit older, gymnastics as a teen and young adult, a stint of trail running/Spartan Race, 5 years bike racing, and now a couple years of lifting.

You could try hiking or cycling, and just tack on some bodyweight stuff at home to get some upper body movement in.

I'm just beyond novice in weight training. What keeps me motivated is going to see dudes/ladies I talk to all the time which is my only human connection outside of work (I work nights alone). Also, the most motivating for me is to see the overweight or undersized people that are there putting in the hours and really trying. I keep reminding myself that they finally had had enough and are doing something about their situation and if they can do it, so can I.

Why do you want to be motivated to do something you don't want to do or is not a priority? It doesn't make any sense. I mean I understand wanting to be healthy but you don't have to be a bodybuilder or weightlifter to be healthy. You can just do the minimum exercise and eating habits to stay healthy.
