How do you stay motivated to go to the gym?

I dont go to a gym. I work out in the comfort and privacy of my home with Tae-Bo, The Firm, and Yoga videos/dvd's. I hope to add that belly dancing tape to the mix soon too.

Workout out at home is cheaper and more convient. If it's raining or snowing or cold or whatever then I'm less likely to be motivated to get out, whereas if everything I need is at home to get a workout, I dont have the "well i dont think i want to get out in this bad weather" excuse.

I also like to walk/run sometimes in the arboretum here. It's a 2 mile track/trail so 3 laps as I did today is 6 miles. I like to listen to the headphones, take the dog for a walk, and enjoy the outdoors and nature's beauty while I'm there. So i enjoy it. I only go on nice days though, not when the weather is bad.
