Hate to Exercise? Try These Ideas!

I love to exercise and I love to walk. Ido the treadmill but I love to walk. - 6/14/2013 3:22:57 PM

Its torture, I like walking. - 5/21/2013 11:53:12 AM

Sorry. None of these work for me. It doesn't matter if I listen to music or not. It doesn't matter if I have a book or not. I can't stand for anyone to be near me when I work out. . I can't afford equipment of any kind, and I wouldn't like them if I did because I don't like ANY physical activity.

Not a single one.

I hate EVERYTHING about exercise. The way it smells (vomit inducing). The way it feels (utter torture, pain and MISERY). It doesn't help me sleep. It doesn't help my mood (actually, it makes it WORSE). I think of it as utter filth that's a necessary evil. Like putting up with unpleasant relatives at a holiday gathering.

There isn't one thing to like about it.

But I do it, even though I hate and curse every wretched minute of it. - 2/16/2013 4:38:19 AM

This past year, I took the first step of getting myself a jump rope. I'm hoping to buy a bicycle soon, too. Those are two activities I enjoy.

I also like to swim, but I DETEST public swimming pools, so that is more of a challenge; however, we might start going to the beach a couple of times a year (for a weekend here and there,) and Delaware has some great beaches for swimming. - 11/8/2012 9:24:53 AM

I seriously dislike exercising. So, I don't. Instead, I play on my Wii Fit. I walk to the library. Sometimes, I walk to the mall (it's a 45-min walk for me), or I'll walk to Subway's if I want lunch out. It helps that my city is a walking city and that most places that I need to go to, except for the mall, is about 30 min away walking distance. - 9/16/2012 9:01:38 PM

I don't like to exercise. However, two years ago I set out to lose weight and began exercising and eating less. I lost 25 pounds. Now, I don't exercise as much and have kept off most of the weight. However, I have started running. I am not athletic in any way...I could never run the mile in HS. Running 30 sec or less at a time was my limit. A friend shared a tip with me. Run so slow that you feel like you're running backwards...this is really slow (I felt like I was running in slow motion). I RAN MY FIRST MILE+ TODAY!! My goal is to run a 5K. Now, to get motivated to run everyday...hmmm? - 9/14/2012 3:50:37 PM

I'm 60 yrs old and I'm obese. In 4 months I've lost 51 lbs and I'm motivated to go all the way this time. I set up 10 lb goals which helps a lot because you can always see the light at the end of the tunnel. I never thought I would exercise but now I do it regularly. I take a 1 mile walk to our community pool. Once there I swim laps for a while and then walk the one mile back. My I-POD Nano helps a lot. Listening to great tunes while I walk makes it more fun and the time flies! - 9/14/2012 11:11:18 AM

I love to exercise, but hate to do it early in the morning or after work. I use a stationary exercise bike called a fitdesk so I can get in exercise while working. Have been using it for 4 months and have already lost 8 lbs. - 9/14/2012 11:05:41 AM

When I wake up in the morning I have about 2 cups of coffee and a glass of water to wake up first before I exercise I pick 2 exercises to do 4 reps of each. For example crunches and push ups.

I live upstairs so I cant run in place so i do a side-to-side shimmy really fast to increase my heart rate and then I do my 4 reps of each exercise..... Exercising like this first thing in the morning increases you metabolism through out the day, with lots of water. - 9/14/2012 8:57:25 AM

It is almost redundant to say I do not like to exercise. Most people do not! If I am on my exercise bike I read, if I am lifting I listen to music. Most other times I listen to a book on my ipod. Either way I am doing something I enjoy while I fix my body. - 9/14/2012 8:55:29 AM

Different ideas work for different people. I like to meet a challenge, but once a challenge is met, repeating it is boring and I get bored very easily. I need a structured environment to keep doing something repeatedly. So I tried different kinds of exercise to challenge myself, and finally set up a program with a specific set of exercises each day of the week. I don't dare miss a day because that would mess up the schedule.

The program I set up is a sort of Kris Gethin lite. I do two or three sets of each exercise, and changing the weight between sets keeps it from being boring. And because even 10 minutes of cardio is boring, I do Tabata instead. Hey, I'm 80 years old, you don't expect me to do the whole schmear!

As my father used to say, "Each to his own taste, said the old woman as she kissed the cow." - 9/14/2012 8:29:40 AM

These are some great ideas. I'm loving this :) - 9/14/2012 7:55:55 AM

I love exercise and plan to keep doing it; it is the pain that I can do without. I have crunchy, painful ankle and knee joints; cannot flex my knees as a result. I plop down to chairs because I can't complete the bending motion required. If I had bionic knees, my exercise would be perfect! - 9/14/2012 7:55:48 AM

I had some success with listening to music or NPR but as ALETHEIA said, reading takes my mind a million miles away allowing me to forget I am even exercising. A Nook e-reader does the rest. - 9/14/2012 7:46:36 AM
