Losing strength. Living alone. If you don't use it you lose it inspired me.
And having a great TV right in front of me, the time flies by.
I tell my friends picture yourself needing help to get out of a chair to pee cuz
your arms are so weak, c'mon. Obviously, I'm not 30 anymore.
Same thing encouraging myself and others to stretch regularly and start slowly doing anything...
warm up first...it's like oiling an old hinge, gotta do that. PS I love my Total Gym and recumbent bike.
I suffer from chronic pain. I don't want to go into details here but working out helps a lot with the pain. I just have to do it or I get stiff, can't walk, it affects my sleep etc. And I'm pretty young so...I don't want to end up an invalid. Some people do it out of desperation.

I used to know an ex NFL player who gt beat up pretty bad. He did have a Super Bowl ring, but he also had debilitating pain that would only go away with daily workouts. He was paying for his glory days for sure - and would have to for the rest of his life.

That being "all of them." I suspect...
Guy I knew in HS has multiple Superbowl rings. Looked him up, don't want to dox him so let's say "more than three." He's now my age (50s) and plays it cool, but I do know he lives with pain. He was one of the greats at what he did, obviously enough, and that came at a cost in his glory days of the 1990s. Good guy, though. We weren't great pals but did some business a few years ago around products he's now selling as a side hustle. Good stuff too (a homemade sweet). I know he's active but exact routine is unknown.
More on-topic, I have a minor lower back thing since who knows when. I don't know if it's muscles or spine or what, as I never really cared to find out. It gets a twinge once in awhile for no real reason, like on Thursday. Mid 2020 it was horrific, worst pain I've had for c. 3 weeks until self-corrected. Well, speaking of workouts I'm a lot lighter now vs. then. Also do two days of weights and core per week. Also a lot of running road and trails, an enjoyable substantial pastime. Daily or near-daily exercise almost certainly makes that minor lower back thing STAY minor: I stretched it out pre-race this AM, it's mostly gone (not entirely, that'll take a few more days). But there's bad, and...
I have a treadmill, weights and skipping rope too.
Zero motivation.
What motivates you?
Your workouts should be something that you enjoy, not feel like punishment. If you don't enjoy jumping rope and walking/running on the treadmill, find some kind of movement that you look forward to doing. That can be motivating.
