I think I might be in the minority, but I'm addicted to working out. I had to stop running in my last month of pregnancy and I haven't been able to get back into it 5 weeks post partum yet. I'm dying to get back out there and run, lift weights... ANY kind of exercise.
Anyone crazy like me?

I used to LOVE working out. I still love it, but it's just such a pain to get out post baby. Once the weather warms up and DH stops traveling so much, I'm totally going to start running again!

Always hated it until I started running (C25k) I didn't get far (week 2) but was craving running. I guess thats what they mean with Endorphins

I get antsy if I can't exercise. When I was in college and hadn't run for more than a day people would tell me to go out and run because I just would be bouncing off the walls.

Yes, I'm like that! I look forward to going to the gym and even more now that I've gotten DH into it.

I'm a crazy too! Running is my thing. It has been challenging to maintain consistency now I have a LO but I dream of running a marathon again.

Okay I'm not "dying" to get back to working out but I my body and mind does crave it. I stopped going to the gym around 5 months during pregnancy because my doctor told me not to let my heartrate go over 150...which when I was on the elliptical, I felt like I wasn't doing anything....I didn't sweat a drop! I left the gym frustrated and decided to just stay home and do some free weights/squats instead. I'm waiting for my 6 weeks of rest/recovery to be over so I can get back on the elliptical!

Not at all. I've just never gotten addicted to any kind of workout.

I do enjoy working out, if it's at the gym. Especially things like Zumba. I don't like working out at home though, I get bored.

I hate working out. The only time I ever enjoyed exercise was when I was playing in a match against another team. I hate solo exercise and can't stand going to a gym.

nope. never been an atheletic person in any way, shape, or form. i do have an addictive personality though, so when i start a regiment it lasts a good 3-4 months before the crash of stopping again.... this next time, i'm hoping to keep it light as my schedule is packed.... which hopefully will allow me to stick with it long term.

No I hate it, no matter how often I do it, and try to get into a routine, it never happens. But post baby I plan on busting my butt to get rid of the baby weight & extra weight I have put on.

Yes, most of the time! There are some days when I really have to drag myself but I get into it shortly after the work out begins. I get in a bad mood nowadays if I can't work out.

I like being outside and being active. I like walking my dog and doing yoga. I like walking around new places. I can zone out on the elliptical if I have something to watch on a TV.
Do I LOVE going to the gym and pushing myself until I'm completely out of breath and uncomfortable? No. But I do it anyway. Its good for me.

hate working out!! However I've been doing prenatal yoga sessions with my friend who is training to become an instructor, and I love them! Halfway through them I HATE them, but after we're done I can't wait for the next one.

I love it! Starting off the day with a good workout is the best. I feel like it sets a positive tone for the rest of the day!

I hate it! Unless it's hiking, which I love.
Since it's so hot here in the summer I have to use the elliptical daily because I get so cooped up- otherwise I don't sleep well.

I can never get into a gym routine, mostly due to my crazy schedule I think. I like going swimming and hitting the pool, but I dispise running, and the gym gets boring for me. I have done burlesque classes etc that I liked a lot though.

Helllllll no. I once jogged/walked 20 miles a week for 6 months (I was training for a 10k mud run) and ended up losing 0 pounds. I extra special hate working out after that.

Eh I don't love it but when I can't work out for a few days I start going stir crazy so maybe I do kinda like it.

Nope, not really. It's not my favorite, but it's not my most hated thing to do. The hardest part for me is to get to the gym, or just start my work out DVD. I tend to make a ton of excuses not to work out. Once I finish my workout, or are in the middle of it I feel great and I'm so happy that I did! But it's getting to that point.....
On a good note, DH and I just bought a treadmill for at home, and it's getting delivered tomorrow!!

Nope I never enjoy it, always wish it was over. Maybe that's why I'm 5 months pp and still haven't started. I have a mini melt down every time we go out and I need to be dressed up. I swear I'll start my workouts the next day and then I never do. Sigh.

yes and no. Yes, I can be addicted to running. Also I love the feeling AFTER running. However, I almost never want to GO to the gym or START my run. 
And like several of the above: I also get stir crazy without working out.

I love to play sports, but I hate working out. I gain weight when I do anything more than walking. I stick to hiking and walking the dogs.

The gym, no. I hate it there. But I love lifting weights and I took up running again (I haven't ran regularly since college) and I'm loving it and it's something I can do with the kiddo in the stroller which is a huge plus.

I do, I find it very satisfying and like the results (and the routine). Sometimes it sucks, but in general I love it. I miss running. I stopped running at 20 weeks pregnant because it was causing pressure down below. Can't wait to start again after baby W is born in May!
