I hate it. Every second. But I still do it. Almost every time I work out I think it might just be worth it to stay overweight- but I think about how accomplished I'll feel if I get to a healthier size and I'll be so proud of myself and have more self esteem. But I do dread if every day! I wish I was one of those people who gets "addicted" to working out!
-
I hate every moment of it also. That's why I'm chunky!
-
I LOVE it. I love the burn and the sweat. I push myself as hard as I can at the gym, because it feels good to me.
I'm not addicted because I don't have the time or the childcare, but I've definitely gone through seasons of my life where working out was my #1 priority. My now husband almost broke up with me over it when we were dating!
Keep up the good work. You should be proud of yourself!
-
It depends on the type of workout, how tired I am, and my general motivation. I haven't really enjoyed it for a while but I ususlly feel good after.
-
When I was working out regularly I loved it and was totally addicted, a hard workout felt like a fun challenge. Post baby I have only been able to do 1-2 times per week on a good week. It's much harder since I'm out of shape and definitely not as much fun.
-
I used to love running and biking. The harder the workout the better I felt. But I've also always had trouble motivating myself initially, until I'm in a good groove,it's hard to make it a habit.
-
LOVE IT. It's my me time, my happy place, my adrenaline rush, and it makes me feel awesome.
-
I go through seasons of liking it. I enjoy running, but I hate going to the gym.
-
When I am on the way there I don't feel like doing it, while I'm there it's tough, but easy to keep going and after I'm done I feel awesome! I try to remember that last feeling when I'm on my way lol.
-
Love it, for the most part. I definitely have days I make myself go. I always feel awesome after!
-
I love it! I hate going & sometimes have to drag myself to the gym, but I've never regretting going and always feel great once I'm there - and I'm a happier person once I leave.
-
I started running a couple of years ago with q group of friends and I HATED it. I had never been able to run for longer than a couple of minutes. I absolutely love it now and can't go long without getting a run in. Part of the appeal is that I don't feel so guilty if I indulge every once in a while.
-
I hate it
-
I do not enjoy it
-
Hate it.
I hate being sweaty, my skin gets so blotchy and flushed and takes hours to go away. I get bored with cardio and watch the clock.
I hate having to shower after and my super thick hair gets gross and takes forever to blow dry.I love having muscle tone and feeling strong, though
-
I really like it. If it wasn't for LO plus being pregnant, I'd be super addicted right now. But unfortunately my ability due to my sTage of pregnancy and size, plus my slight lack of time management skills means I don't get in the workouts I'd like to at the moment. One day!
-
I think I could love it, if I had a routine/somewhere to go. But working out alone in my basement sucks.
-
Hate. It.
-
I love it. I love how it makes me feel. I've missed excercising during the first trimester! I'm feeling so much better so I hope to get back to it soon.
-
I adore it. I've really come to depend on it to regulate my moods and to reduce my anxiety. I also just love the way it makes me feel while I'm doing it and afterwards. It took me a really long time to get to this place, though. A lot of building a basic level of fitness and then finding exercise that I actively enjoy doing. Now I'm hooked.
-
I loved the three years of CrossFit I did. I hope to get back to it sometime after baby #2. You know, when I have more free time
. Generally I hate working out. I wish I had a dollar for every time I've quit running.
-
@Mrs. Oatmeal: it does help to have a routine and know what to do each time you're in the gym. I agree with that. It's harder to motivate yourself if you usually just go to the gym and the try and decide what to do while you're there. I like having a plan to follow.
@rachiecakes: the hair is huge for me too! And I have short hair now- but I still have to plan an extra hour for showering, blow drying, styling, etc and that's a pain.
-
I used to love it but since having LO, I don't love it anymore. I just keep thinking of all the stuff that has to get done at home.
-
I always hate it before I go but when I'm there I love it and afterwards it's such a sense of accomplishment that I like, especially with soccer training.
I've recently joined a gym to boost my weight-loss (4mth PP) and have arranged a regular once-a-week commitment with my in laws to watch LO while I go to a gym near them. My first session went great but I wonder if after a few weeks motivation will dwindle and I'll start thinking up excuses not to go. Hopefully I'll feel too guilty about preventing them from seeing LO that I will force myself to do it (or just go shopping instead :shifty:). -
I used to love it pre-baby, and it was a major hobby for me. I spent a considerable amount of my free time working out. I still enjoy it post-baby, but my kid is almost 3 and I still can't figure out how to have regularly schedule time to go to the gym. I'm doing good if I can squeeze in 30 minutes twice a week on the treadmill. I solo parent a lot, and we never know what my husband's schedule is going to be, so it's not easy to fit it in. I miss is so much.
-
Like the feeling of working out, LOVE how it makes me feel afterwards! And probably most significantly, I hate the feeling of not working out and feeling like a sloth.
It's been hard to get back into a consistent routine post babies, especially with moving and childcare issues etc, but I'm making it a priority as I just don't feel like me when I'm not in good shape.
-
I love working out, but it has to be a class I like at the gym. I wish I could make more of the classes!
-
@Mrs. Pen: I used to have a really short haircut and it was soooo high maintenance!!!
-
I hate physically getting off my ass and going to the gym and have to force myself most of the time, but I honestly always feel awesome afterwards.
@blackbird: @Mrs. Pen: Short hair was way more maintenance for me too! I loved the short hair, but I hated taking care of it. My hair is nearly waist length now and it's so easy.
-
It depends on what I'm doing. Running? hate it. I love things like yoga, barre, HIIT, and strength training. However, since having LO, getting going is my biggest roadblock. In my head I hate exercise, but once I actually start I remember I love it.
-
I hate working it. I'd much rather play a sport or take a long walk for some exercise.
-
Hate. I love going to yoga classes, but anything else... no thanks.
-
HATE IT. I'd rather dance, hike, swim, play, take a walk, take a Zumba class, do pilates, or do anything fun to work out.
-
I think that I don't really 'work out' like most of you guys are talking about. I mostly ride my bike (with a kid trailer) for exercise, just as a part of our daily life. Like, we just rode to the park and back. I have NEVER had the motivation to just go 'work out' - it has always needed to be an active thing that I'm doing to get somewhere. Like, I'll go to zumba with friends, but I'd never go on my own.
-
I love it! I love the burn, adrenaline, etc.
-
not in the moment but afterwards I feel awesome!
-
It took finding the right kind of exercise for me to enjoy working out. I used to just run, but as much as I want to be, I'm just not a runner. I find it tedious and I just. don't. want. to. So I would only exercise sporadically. Then I found Fitness Blender videos. I now know that HIIT and strength training is way more interesting to me and I exercise about four days a week. I also have a spinning class I do once a week that I love! I think it really just takes finding what works for you.
-
I see it as a means to an end. I definitely don't love it. But I know that if I want to look a certain way that no amount of dieting is going to get me there, so I suck it up. I used to do hot yoga and I did really love that (and it burns a ton of calories!), but I haven't been able to find a studio that offers it at a convenient time near our house. I hate running with a passion and avoid it at all costs.
-
I'm eh about it, but there's definitely workouts that I absolutely hate. However, I do love Wii's EA Sports More workouts. I loved it because it was relatively low impact, but the workouts were effective. It didn't really feel like a workout sometimes, but after a month, I definitely saw results! Meanwhile, I hate running, but I can walk all day!
-
@loveisstrange: @blackbird: it is high maintenance! You can't just throw it in a ponytail, and I can't just let it air dry or it goes every which way. I love how it looks styled though. And when I do grow my hair out, I have billions of split ends so it doesn't look good
@lawbee11: @JessKas: yup I'm a runnig hater too. I've done the C25K programs and stuck with it for months and it never got better for me so I quit it. I hate cardio but not nearly as much as running so I go with other exercises to get my cardio fix.
I can't just do a sport or something fun like biking to lose weight though. Wish I could! I need cardio and strength workouts
. Generally I hate working out. I wish I had a dollar for every time I've quit running.
