Exercise, Reluctantly: What to do if you hate working out?

But you want to get the health benefits of exercise.

There’s no pill, just yet. See An exercise pill is in the news again, would you take it?

We’ve written about hating exercise before.

See some past posts:

🏋🏽 Hate exercise and just want the health benefits?

🏋🏽 What’s love got to do with it?

🏋🏽 Hate exercise? You might just be much more unfit than you think

🏋🏽 Amanda Lynn hates exercise but she also thinks walking might be a feminist act

This morning this post came across my social media newsfeed. I like it.

Instagram post outlining a short workout plan titled 'I hate working out', including gym visits and exercise recommendations.

It’s summer here on the blog and we’re on the move and on the go. Due to various holiday plans the bloggers have, I’ll be sharing more of our older posts. You know, like the CBC in summertime! Lol. Enjoy!

One thought on “Exercise, Reluctantly: What to do if you hate working out?

  1. If you hate working out, don’t do it. I do cross-funning. I don’t work out. I ride a bike a lot, kayak when I can, walk…all things I would do anyway because I enjoy them. I figure the best exercise is what you would do anyway and language often gets in the way. That’s why I measure what I do in BFUs (Big Fun Units). The more we make stuff sound like a chore that we have to do instead of having fun, the less we’re likely to do it. (And I probably got enough weight-lifting done fixing and replacing windows in my house this week.) As long as my heart rate remains non-zero, it’s working. I don’t need to wear a heart monitor or have my watch tell me I’m alive.

Let us know what you think....
