21F Need advice on motivation/incentive to go to the gym
I'm 21F and I am very very out of shape. I weigh 130lbs so I'm not too worried about weight loss, moreso about building strength and endurance so I stop getting fatigued from walking up the stairs or carrying something heavy. I also have a few health problems that could be much improved by simply exercising regularly. The hard part is that I deal with depression and heavy heavy procrastination. Every time I have tried going to the gym and implementing a workout routine, it doesn't last longer than a week or two.
I need an incentive like a reward or some sort of motivation to get me going to the gym twice a week. I've decided to use my apartment gym since I feel like that would be the absolute easiest for me to access and I don't have to worry about money. I've considered doing a reward system per week then maybe after a little doing per month or something where I take myself out to a nice dinner or buy myself a gift. My dad also gave the idea of paying him $100 at the beginning of the month and if I go all 8 days, I get the money back. Please help with ideas or what has maybe worked for you!
tl;dr - in need of advice to get me going to the gym as a very out of shape, major procrastinator.
