Schedule

This is about changing your lifestyle in the long-term.  To create a successful exercise program, you have to make it part of your lifestyle; schedule it into your day.  Don't try to shoe-horn gym time into a busy schedule.  Instead, block out the time as devoted to the gym, and have it be consistent for several times per week.
