I personally find that once you loose routine from exercise you do it less.
I've often thought that it would be better if you could find others that regularly want to exercise doing something that you also enjoy at the same time, but I've not figured out a way to do this. Somet like sports-buddy.com would be the idea there I guess.
I also found that late night exercise was actually a hinderance to sleep. A problem when the most popular time slot for badminton is 8pm til 10pm which is too late for me I've found.
Leaving work early to play badminton 6 til 8 worked much better for me, both in terms of better exercise and sleeping better, but I did find that if I didn't eat a snack mid afternoon (3.30ish) then my energy levels dropped off too quick.
I'm slowly getting better at exercising again through going for regular small bike rides, but hope to get my shoulder injury seen to with the new companies healthcare soon, which I hope will mean more badminton again next year :)
So, perhaps it's more the finding a sport that interests more than gym and swimming, and provides some social interaction is what we're all looking for?
