Need help getting motivated?

[skinnyblack28]

i really want to get into shape but am having a very hard time getting motivated.
i work on the oil rigs and work very long physical hours so its hard to get motivated to workout, especially when you just finished a 15 hour physical day and i gotta be up the next day at 4 am to go to work.
and when i do get off work my main focus is to get home to see my daughter before she goes to bed.

I've thought about buying workout equipment for my house but its too small and i really have nowhere to put it.
not sure how i should go about getting motivated to workout and get in shape or how id even find the time
help???

I think a good motivator is to think of the future benefits for yourself. Think of it as a gift for your future self and family. In ten years, you don't want to be the slow, middle aged adult tagging behind his teenage kids, You want to be right along side them, enjoying the activities. If it's something you really want, you'll make the time somehow. I think the trick is finding a form of exercise you enjoy. I, personally, enjoy swimming. It's such a great full body exercise, and it helps me de-stress, unwind, and sort through my thoughts. My dad loves riding his bike all over the place. You could start running, if that's your thing. You could even start dancing! (ever heard the term "dancer's body"?) There are so many forms of time flexible exercise out there these days, it just takes time to find the right one. :)

Just do it (jk) just sta somewhere with an excercuse program where you don't need any big machines that you can do at home

Start small and be consistent. You can do some exercises with no equipment - push-ups, sit-ups / bicycle crunches, etc. That might be the right place to start.

What days are you off if any? you can do 2 day week workouts and stuff but I need to know in order to tell you.

work a 15 on 6 off rotation... when im working on call 24 hours usually 12-15 hour days

[Phoenix98]

Well you could do body exercises or buy some dumbbells/barbell and a bench that would pretty much allow you to do everything as there are a ton of exercises for all body parts that you can do with just a barbell or dumbbells.
