When I was in the best shape of my life, I was taking a karate class. We met every Tuesday and Thursday, and the only penalty for missing a class, was the razzing you'd get from the rest of the class. Nothing mean, just stuff like "someone must have been feeling lazy on Tuesday!"
That low pressure accountability made me go every time. If it was any more or less strict, I'd probably would have just ended up never going.
So, how do you recreate that? Find a friend or two with similar goals and set a plan. It'll be harder to "just skip this one" if you know someone's expecting you.
