Bulgarian split squats. I won't do them. Refuse.

lol . . . i get that, because lunges. a person can measure how much i hate lunges by the fact i'm actually willing to consider split squats as an alternative.

I do barbell reverse lunges. I won't like...walk/lunge with dumbbells or some *kitten* though. Too much cardio.

Overhead press.
What an emotional roller coaster.

lol. That and every time I do them I'm like...why can't I EVER lift any more weight than this? Frustrating.

Dread is a pretty strong word. If I truly dreaded something, especially an exercise, I simply wouldn't do it. That said, there are a few movements I'm not too happy to see when they come up in a wod. (situps, clean & jerk, SDHP, or excessive wall balls or burpees)

Crunches

Jumping jacks, burpees, push ups

Push ups, burpees ... That's what stands out the most for me.

RedheadedPrincess14

Push ups! Hate push ups

mca90guitar

Legs and yoga, find no joy in those at all but do them

Annac863

Push ups to this day I still can't do them.

I can on my toes, but I can't go down very far, lol like an inch

dave_in_ni

Another for overhead press. Hate it and it never seems to progress any.

Burpees if I'm doing a HIIT workout that requires them. Or Intervals during running. Much prefer long steady miles or quick shorter runs but at the same pace.

Have to say it was standing cable front raises until I found alternatives that I love better. Now it is step up to reverse lunge with front to back lunges as a close second! HATE>>>>>GAIN

I dread working with battle ropes- it is just so super obvious how weak I am on them!

My trainer has me do two exercises I always fail spectacularly at --

• Deadmills (but on all fours, which sucks even more butt than the original)
• This thing where I push a weight plate covered with a towel across the floor.

My body just gives out mid push and I fall on my knees and get carpet/floor/treadmill rubber burns...
He doesn't have me do these often, but when he does I want to just throw a temper tantrum and say NO, NO, NO!

Oh, and walkouts. Burpees are hard, but at least you have momentum to keep you going from one position to the next. Walkouts are just super slow and excruciating.

Tough call...

Ham-Glute Raises
Cardio

Burpees and planks. Period.

Spartan_Gingi

Squats. The level of disdain and disgust I have for squats knows no bounds....

wellthenwhat

Everything, lol. But to be honest, the part I hate most is not an exercise, it's the part of the exercise where you are far enough from the beginning to be exhausted, but far enough from the end you can't start counting down yet. You are just stuck in the middle where you feel like you are dying and there is no end in sight. I usually get this when I'm halfway through a longish run or long bike ride.

Need2Exerc1se

I dislike all exercise done purely for the sake of getting exercise, but the dreadmill is probably my least favorite.

Burpees. I tend to do them too fast and it's the only exercise that reminds me I have a potential lower back issue waiting in the wings. I just try to do them slower, but still loathe them. And how about "surfing burpees", yeah, it's a thing, and they suck too.

alias1001

Jumping squats. So exhausting.

Plyo Lunges and Burpees.....

Oh my gosh, my legs just got weak thinking about PiYo lunges... I'm crying a little bit.

kentkoester

I hate hate HATE HATE crunches, situps, generally the entire subset of core/ab specific workouts.

Nothing quite like doing something that makes you feel like you've been punched/kicked in the stomach.

dingylingo

Lunges or burpees. Especially burpees.

JustinAnimal

Tread mill.

Me too! I can barely lift them never mind make them 'ripple' :)

Crunches. I carry very little fat on my torso making it easy to see the progress in my stomach so you'd think it would be gratifying, but most ab work makes me miserable and it never seems to get any easier.
