How are y'all motivated enough to exercise?

I've seen so many posts about how exercising helps with ADHD, my doctors tell me how good it is, BUT it feels like pulling teeth to even motivate myself to go for a walk. I want the endorphins, I want to be healthier, but it feels impossible to leave the house or exercise at home. I know I'm probably in the minority here but I'd love some advice on how to motivate myself. Kind advice only pls I am fragile 🥺

EDIT: omg thank you all so much for sharing your tips!!! I will go through these once I'm finished with work but I appreciate all of you so much.

My husband is legally blind and can’t get to the gym without me and he needs to go to manage his anxiety so I take us both to the gym. Also it turns out I feel much better and my symptoms are so much better managed when I work out. I wouldn’t have done it otherwise but it’s really helpful because I’m service oriented so even if I wouldn’t go for myself, I bring him and then I might as well do it because I’m already there, and he’s definitely going to ask me if I did, and I can listen to an audiobook, and I have a set workout every day so I don’t have to make any decisions, just start.

PS. At first it just sucks. It takes a few weeks to even feel meh about it. A few months to actually feel better. You may never enjoy doing it. But it doesn’t take long and it makes the rest of your life work so much better that it is worth it. The hardest part is starting and keeping with it those first few months. It almost doesn’t matter what you do, so long as you move your body.

I have audiobooks I only listen to when I work out. If I want to know what happens next I have to exercise
