I went through many iterations of trying to find a workout routine that I could stick with.  In the end, I decided to focus on the journey and not the destination.  I do a one weight training exercise every day, rotating through different exercises so that muscles have time to rest and increasing reps and&#x2F;or weight slowly.  The key, for me anyway, was to allow some slack time without going outside the rules.  I can miss one day, but no more than one in a row, unless I am on an actual vacation away from home.  If I&#x27;m slacking about exercise, I can skip every other day.  If I&#x27;m not, I get many days in a row.  For me, building the habit was more important than intensity, and working some slack time into the rules was what allowed me to build it.<p>Requiring myself to do it every day with no flexibility works for me only until the first day I miss, and then it&#x27;s basically all over except for the death throes.  YMMV.
