I think one of the biggest steps people can take in staying motivated with their exercise routines is variety. Many times, people become bored with the workouts or don't find their workout is as effective as it used to be because they have hit a plateau. One idea might be planning out different activities that you enjoy and doing one for a few weeks and switching to another. I like a program called P90X which markets itself as an extreme workout. With this program, you don't hit a plateau because of something they call muscle confusion.
