Default Car Hesitant to Start

This morning i got back from driving my Gf's car (god it makes me miss the lexus) and i jumped into my lex to warm up the oil for a check and the car outt anowhere decides not to start as usual (like it had the day before).

So i stop, gather my self

Then i went to turn it over again...

Same result.

Lastly i give it a lil juice during the ignition and she gathers herself and starts.

Am i doing something wrong is something def trying to tell me something on the car?

What she i be looking at under the hood, and what should i be looking for?

Anyhelp would be appreciated. !

Need more details. Does it struggle to turn over when you start, or does it make a clicking noise? Check your battery first, that's what I would do.

you definitely need to be more specific about what you mean. "Turn over" is a term often misused anyway, so just describe exactly what sounds you're hearing and what the engine is doing. For example: can you hear the starter cranking (that distinctive toyota chirp)? Do you hear just a plain mechanical whirring? Do you just hear a clicking sound? These should help isolate the problem a little further.
