Just Dance is fun
Motivation to Exercise

To be honest, the easiest way to do this is to just make it part of your daily schedule. Make time to exercise each day or the the days you decide to exercise at the beginning of the week. Plan out what days you will exercise on opposed to waking up and saying todays the day. If you plan it out and make it part of your schedule, it will become easier to do. Also, one way to motivate yourself is to not allow you to do any fun things (like video games) till you exercise that day. I find that this helps especially if you do it in the morning too. Lastly, to prevent you from getting bored, you can change up your exercise routine.

It's really enjoyable to do when you just do it. That sounds so smart-ass but it's true!
I try to do yoga 5 days a week, at least 5 really and then 50-100 squats, depending on how jiggly my legs are and if I'm about to collapse from my ineptness to stop when I need to xD
I do Yoga With Adriene as my motivator. She is very helpful, kind, sweet, makes you feel comfortable, understands what we go through, and she makes me just feel good. It's okay that I can't stretch like her, we all have our limits, we can work to it, and the hard part is just getting on the mat and starting. Once I start, it goes by so quick (unless I'm balancing on my arms for building strength and that hurts hehe) The motivation really came about when I started a yoga class during my semester at college, when we went on lockdown the instructor had us do yoga summaries each week. I didn't want to lie and say I did this so I just made it a point to do yoga at least 4 times a week. Since then, I've slimmed down and lost inches in my waistline and thighs
My thighs have always been half an inch off from each other, so these squats and yoga have helped! Not to mention my hip dips, which I know so many girls have and it's completely and annoyingly normal. Hip dips have slimmed a lot and that's probably my biggest motivator xD

@Mikaiah Exercise is not for everyone. You don't have to force yourself to exercise or follow other people's exercise patterns or routines. It's important to exercise for health purposes but just half an hour of walking a day to be moderately fit is enough (https://www.webmd.com/fitness-exercise/features/is-walking-enough#1; https://intermountainhealthcare.org...018/02/is-walking-daily-good-enough-exercise/).
The best way to get motivation to exercise is to find something you enjoy. E.g. some people enjoy hitting the gym, some people enjoy swimming, some people enjoy cycling, some people enjoy dancing, etc. I enjoy playing sports and whenever I find players, I would not hesitate to participate because I enjoy it and it's hard to find players when your friend circle is small. I also shoot hoops and practice basketball moves at home by myself. Since I live in a mountainous area, I can always go hiking and get some fresh air. It really depends on what you enjoy doing
