Don’t have goals. Find something you like doing that also is exercise. Maybe it’s a partnered sport like racquetball. Maybe it’s juggling, walking in the woods. It can even just be something sedentary programming and you can make it exercise by doing it on a treadmill.
Do have goals; don’t try to meet them by willpower alone, unless they’re very short-term. I’d instead think of your goals as giving you something to aim your habits at.
Habits are easier to establish if you find them enjoyable in themselves, but habit alone is pretty powerful once you’ve taken the hit of establishing it.
