I've just recently become more consistent in working out (from once ever few months to now at least once a week.) What are some tips to stay motivated and how do you stay consistent?

Not with motivation, that thing is rather fleeting and unstable. Though not only forcing it with discipline, that's a rather limited resource as well.

Basically using as little discipline as possible to slowly form a habit.

So now you're going at least once a week, good work. Keep it going until it becomes a habit, few weeks to months. Once that has become a habit, add in another day and repeat the habit forming process.

It took me nearly a year to go from once a week to 5 times a week and by now during winter i can add in cardio sessions as well and up the frequency easily to 7 days a week.
