To find inspiration and motivation is hard. I myself just went through a long period of about two or three months where I wasn't motivated to work out at all. I forced myself to go like twice a week just to maintain some strenght but it was harsh. I felt "why do I work out? It's exhausting and pointless"
I think about becoming a personal trainer after graduation or something similar. I want to help people endorse the lifestyle they seek or perhaps need but don't have the motivation for. How do we make motivation sprout?
For me it was just a matter of getting back to old habits. As I started working out more often again I regained some old stamina and I started feeling more happy again. Last night before going to sleep I even thought to myself "man, I want it to be day now so I can go work out some shoulders".

Anyhow, feeling motivated is nothing that comes by itself. I think setting your own goals is necessary, watch videos online like these:
For me when I started getting into training and fitness was as late as 19 years of age. I was assigned to the military and I knew if I wasn't in shape when I got there I´d be screwed. During that year I spent in the military training and exercise became part of my normal daily rutine, something that still follows me.
Make working out a part of your life, set small goals like "I want to be able to do 5 pull-ups" or "I want to be able to run 10 km without stopping" and then just go out there. Get rolemodels, watch people on youtube, read fitness bloggs. I watch countless diet shows on tv and after each one of those I just feel like going out in the tracks and running.
Find your way to motivation, you'll be glad you did!
