Workouts are no fun... (1 Viewer)

Why can't exercise be smth enjoyable? I literally put in a movie to watch on my laptop and put the exercise guide on my phone so i get a little bit of enjoyment from it ... :/

I think it honestly depends on your personality and the workout itself

I personally really like it

You could try some gamification of workouts tho

What is that? Gamification?

I do Yoga & Kpop Random Play Dance videos for Cardio. I'll also listen to audiobooks sometime if I'm doing something more intense.

Like, turn it into a series of fun challenges. For example, maybe give yourself a certain number of points for completing certain exercises and so on.

I hate exercising too, so I get it.

I hate certain types of exercises. I should 100% be doing them more though, especially now.

you turn it into a game

or smth that's a non typical way of being active that's fun for you

or there are exercise game apps you can use

I know a lot because I was really into researching this when I was 12 13 14

I didn't need it rlly bc I liked working out TOO much, to the point where I would go do somewhere else and do pushups if my mom dragged me along to some adult's house and I was bored it was bad ..


But anyways an example is Zombies, Run

it has stories for running based on your speed, tells you when to speed up and stuff too

Exercising is one of my fav things to do. Endorphins are wonderful!

One good idea to make working out fun is to do the pacer test. I enjoyed it a lot in school. Just look up a timer for it. I really like how it eases you into it and gradually makes it harder, as opposed to starting hard.

I would try yoga... But idk, i really wanna lose weight. Does that help in losing weight or just in maintaining?

That's the thing , i don't understand. Everyone likes it, for me it's just smth i need to do. No enjoyment in it. It's like a chore. Tbh
