That is the problem with most people. That is why all of the gyms and fitness clubs have more members than you will ever see there, ever. People join, thinking that since it is costing money, they will be sure to make use of the facilities.
What works the best is if you have a commitment that costs you more if you don't keep up with your exercise program than if you follow it regularly. See if there is any "cross fit" gym around your area. They aren't like regular gyms.
They tailor exercise programs to each person, and you are expected to go there and work out, and they keep track of your attendance, and fitness progress.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
