Finding the motivation to exercise on a regular basis is difficult. It becomes even more difficult when you feel as though exercise will not give you the results you want. You exercise to lose weight and to enhance your body. If the effort you have to exert to exercise will not help you achieve your goal, your ambition plummets. And if you suffer from a poor body image or low self esteem, your motivation evaporates. So instead of exercising and striving to attain your objective, you give up.
