I have a blast. It's only once a week now. I'm looking at weightlifting now to help increase my strength for kickboxing and being more in shape. I like feeling strong. I hate cardio. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-working-out-2/page/2#post-2144702 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 10:03:01 +0000 Greentea 2144702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love taking walks with LO and DH. It is my favorite thing to do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-working-out-2/page/2#post-2144679 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 09:51:46 +0000 Keybee 2144679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I enjoy taking walks and doing yoga. I have a hard time at the gym though . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-working-out-2/page/2#post-2144650 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 09:38:46 +0000 bpcmarj 2144650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never thought that I would but I really love it. I have never really lifted before, and when I did it was always just jumping around on the machines. It feels so great to have a routine and to push my body in a way that it hasn't before. I still pretty much hate cardio, which I do after I lift, but having a good spotify playlist really, really, really helps me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-working-out-2/page/2#post-2127232 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 18:15:30 +0000 ScarletBegonia 2127232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't do much exercise besides running (pilates once a week which i LOVE but is more about maintaining spine &amp; core health than exercise per se), and with running I have a clear and defined tipping point. I hate it with a passion up until my fitness tips to the other side, at which point I love it. Basically it feels like the hardest work ever while I'm building up, but once I get to the point where a 7 or 8 km run feels easy, I absolutely love it and get a serious runner's high. Right now I run 4km with effort so.....its tough. But I'll get back! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-working-out-2#post-2127208 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 17:46:26 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2127208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@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 :( </p> <p>@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.</p> <p>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 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-working-out-2#post-2126440 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 08:21:41 +0000 Alivoo01 2126440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-working-out-2#post-2126421 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 08:11:10 +0000 lawbee11 2126421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-working-out-2#post-2126417 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 08:08:55 +0000 MrsSCB 2126417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-working-out-2#post-2126411 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 08:06:34 +0000 Mamaof2 2126411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>not in the moment but afterwards I feel awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-working-out-2#post-2126404 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 08:03:20 +0000 namaste 2126404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love it! I love the burn, adrenaline, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-working-out-2#post-2126058 Sun, 29 Mar 2015 17:40:24 +0000 sarac 2126058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-working-out-2#post-2126040 Sun, 29 Mar 2015 17:09:31 +0000 erinpye 2126040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-working-out-2#post-2125847 Sun, 29 Mar 2015 11:46:29 +0000 Synchronicity 2125847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hate. I love going to yoga classes, but anything else... no thanks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-working-out-2#post-2125767 Sun, 29 Mar 2015 09:04:21 +0000 coopsmama 2125767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate working it. I'd much rather play a sport or take a long walk for some exercise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-working-out-2#post-2125763 Sun, 29 Mar 2015 08:53:39 +0000 JessKas 2125763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-working-out-2#post-2125755 Sun, 29 Mar 2015 08:39:23 +0000 loveisstrange 2125755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> <p>@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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-working-out-2#post-2125744 Sun, 29 Mar 2015 08:22:15 +0000 blackbird 2125744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: I used to have a really short haircut and it was soooo high maintenance!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-working-out-2#post-2125717 Sun, 29 Mar 2015 07:45:05 +0000 Andrea 2125717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-working-out-2#post-2125706 Sun, 29 Mar 2015 07:25:26 +0000 Ree723 2125706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-working-out-2#post-2125684 Sun, 29 Mar 2015 06:39:06 +0000 BananaPancakes 2125684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-working-out-2#post-2125680 Sun, 29 Mar 2015 06:35:44 +0000 Trufflehunter 2125680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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.<br /> 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:). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-working-out-2#post-2125672 Sun, 29 Mar 2015 06:25:02 +0000 Orchid 2125672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-working-out-2#post-2125665 Sun, 29 Mar 2015 06:20:30 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2125665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@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. </p> <p>@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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-working-out-2#post-2125583 Sat, 28 Mar 2015 23:44:03 +0000 Corduroy 2125583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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 :silly: . Generally I hate working out. I wish I had a dollar for every time I've quit running. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-working-out-2#post-2125581 Sat, 28 Mar 2015 23:30:33 +0000 sarac 2125581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-working-out-2#post-2125493 Sat, 28 Mar 2015 20:35:58 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2125493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-working-out-2#post-2125491 Sat, 28 Mar 2015 20:32:58 +0000 Mae 2125491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hate. It. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-working-out-2#post-2125486 Sat, 28 Mar 2015 20:30:54 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2125486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I could love it, if I had a routine/somewhere to go. But working out alone in my basement sucks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-enjoy-working-out-2#post-2125485 Sat, 28 Mar 2015 20:29:03 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2125485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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! </p>
