Hey all I wish to start working out because I need to drop the weight. My problem is that getting started for me. Its just hard to motivate myself because I dont really like working out and lack transportation most days. Does anyone have advice or work out plans that work from home mostly? Does anyone have advice on getting yourself started despite not really liking the idea.

3 mile jog, one of those barefoot on a soccer field. good for feet and calf muscles.

There are plenty of bodyweight exercises you can do in order to get a good workout. If you don't like ballistic movement that much, try some squats, push-ups, and pull-ups. If you can't do pull-ups just yet, try doing some inverted rows from a table until you get stronger in that type of lift. If you don't like running, you can do a fast-paced walk. Lunging is a great one, if you don't want to do an exercise in one spot.

Here's a list of exercises you can do anywhere: http://greatist.com/fitness/50-bodyweight-exercises-you-can-do-anywhere

Motivation is temporary. What you need is desire. To want to change. If you're interested there are some websites/apps you can do. The 20 pull-up challenge. 100 push-up challenge. These are great places to start a fitness journey from at home.
