Working out ๐๏ธโโ๏ธ
I find it excruciatingly boring
Id literally rather piss my own pants
Luckily i can do neither as well
I think the key to exercise is finding a recreational activity that is physically active rather than trying to make yourself go to the gym. Barring that, tying gym time with something enjoyable like listening to audio books helps make it at least a little rewarding.
I don't particularly love brushing my teeth twice a day,but its something you've gotta do. I do very much dislike not brushing my teeth. It's not worth being lazy about it. I also hate feeling unfit and stiff and weak.
Brushing your teeth takes 2 minutes. They tell you to spend a whole 30 minutes a day working out. 30 minutes of boredom, discomfort, pain and agony.
30 minutes a day for a lifetime of feeling healthy and unlocking the opportunity to live a longer life... Also endorphins are a thing.
This is a perspective that I'm likely too exercise-pilled to understand.
Don't worry I got your back. I haaaaaate working out. Every second of it. It's miserable, boring, tiring, and gross and sweaty.
However, since I started doing it I hate to admit that I am more energetic in everything else, I move easier, I'm not winded going up stairs, I'm happier, all the tripe they tell you is true.
It's not 30 minutes because you have to enjoy it, it's 30 minutes that improve the other 23.5 hours a day
I have my noise canceling headphones, so working out is quality time listening to hot tunes, sharp music, rumbling rhythms and crazy beats while pumpin iron.
Well, you can't spell "watersports" without "sports".
I think that if I started working out years ago I'd have developed a love for it and would relish the gains and new challenges and shit. Its so boring and painful though. I'll not pick it up today and curse myself in another decade.
I never got myself to go to the gym. However, having a group workout once a week with a coach does help a lot: you kind of feel like you have to go because you're expected, exercises are challenging and they vary from one session to the other. Quite a good balance for me. I would do it twice a week if I had the time
Try a sport instead. You work out and have fun at the same time. Win win.
