I agree, having a partner really helps, I feel ackward going by myself most of the time! I find a walkman/discman with great pumping music helps...even for an hour at the gym, get at your buddies! Also, buying a few workout (shape, muscle and fitness) magasines help...How about a Yoga video? I haven't tried yoga yet but plan to, hear it's really great for both the body and mind! when the weather warms up, taking scenic walks with my dog help me get out of the house.
