Sometimes, it is not easy to motivate yourself to exercises.
I do love exercising, because I love the rushed feeling you get when completes.
You feel as if you could do anything and are effective, and you feel super
healthy.
I try and do a few exercises two to three times per week (not including my dance classes). You don't have to do heaps of hardcore toning workouts; it can actually just be walking for 30 minutes of walking on a treadmill. I thought I would show you guys my workout daily.

1. Warm Up
To warming up, I wish to do 10 star jumps, 10 high knees
running and 10 but-kicks facing one wall, then the next wall, then the third
wall, fourth wall and the first wall once more. This is just a quick and efficient
way to get heated.
2. Strengthening Exercises
in a daily exercises, not a long one, I focus mainly on abs and arms. For my abs I tend to do 25 crunches, which are like sit-ups but you only go half way up, 25 sit-ups and I sit in a V-sit for 20 seconds. For my arms, I just do 15 push-ups - pretty self explanatory. To finish, I just do lunges for 1 minute.

3. Stretch
At first, I just do small stretches. I stretch my hamstrings
by touching my toes, and I stretch my sides by standing with my legs apart and
reaching over my head and bending sideways.
For some more superior stretching, I just do the rip. I do hip flexor on both legs and then I stand with one leg about a meter in front of the other and go to my front leg. Then I just sit in over splits for 30 seconds each and go into the splits. (For the record, I'm not down in the splits on my left leg yet - it's very frustrating.) For my middle splits, I lie on the floor with my but touching the wall and my legs on the wall straight up. Then I open my legs (lets all pretend that doesn't sound weird) and let gravity push my legs closer into the middle splits. I like to stay there for one whole song, because as weird as it seems, I find this stretch relaxing.

Personally do not do anything like jogging or running, just
because I do develop my endurance at dance, because I am working hard for an extended
period. If you add in running to your workout daily, I suggest doing it in
between your warm up and strengthening exercises.
