How to Exercise When You Despise Exercising
Some people love to exercise, some people hate it, but they all need exercise. Whether they enjoy it is a different story.
I have a decent number of readers, audience members, and others who say that they hate to exercise, so I have to come up with creative solutions to get them to “take their medicine.”
In this article, I’ll show you how to exercise when you despise it.
We’ll go through several strategies.
In no particular order:
Idea #1: Find Something You Like
Is there any physical activity you enjoyed when you were younger? Did you dance? Play basketball? Soccer? Even play tag or cops and robbers when you were a kid? It would be fun as an adult.
Recall when you were a kid. What did you enjoy doing? It could be skipping rope and playing double dutch. Being active as a kid was gathering a bunch of your friends in the neighborhood and playing till it was time to take a shower.
If you want to find an activity you like, just Google “[NAME OF ACTIVITY] [YOUR CITY]”.
For instance, if you like playing tennis, and you live in BOSTON, type in “Tennis Boston.” Although you might not find double Dutch in your city.
