Lunges are the worst.

There, I said it. They're the worst and I hate them. I realize that I need to do them because obviously they wouldn't bother me so much if my quads actually existed... but I still hate them.

What's your least favorite exercise?

Team sports because even when I was a kid I was incredibly clumsy and bad at them.
Up until 4th grade I needed glasses and wasn’t evaluated for them because my teachers just assumed I was “an unteachable (ablest slur meaning severe intellectual disability)
Even after I got glasses I was still absolutely terrible at spatial awareness and pretty much everything one needs for playing any team sports.

Don’t get me wrong. I love watching baseball and other sports.

I just can’t participate at all.

Love love LOVED my unicycle though.
I got to skip all team sports in high school gym as long as I rode my unicycle around the field or court during class.

That gym teacher was my favorite. He got me.

I'm with you. I HATE lunges! So, I don't do them. I squat, deadlift, step up, and walk/jog. That's all my legs are getting. That's it. I don't care.

Lunges kick my butt. I do them anyway. Sometimes if I'm feeling weak, I just do two sets instead of three. Squats and deadlifts don't seem to make my legs burn the way lunges do.

Since they are a more difficult movement for me, it makes me feel successful when I can complete all three sets that I intend when I start them. So I'll keep doing them.

My most frustrating one though is pectoral. It's one of my weaker areas, so I can only use a small amount of weight. Yep... I'll keep doing them because that's the only way to make 'em stronger.

Dead Bug also kicks my butt.

Oh gawd yes. Lunges are my least favourite exercise. I’m 78 and until a few years ago I could lunge quite deeply but these days I get twinges in my knees so a lunge has become a slight dip.

I don't mind lunges, but burpees can seriously (redacted) right off.

I also hate lunges but I discovered today that they are much easier to do with the Smith machine. 😇

I used to hate, hate, HATE squats. So I made myself do them repeatedly until I started to get results. Now I enjoy squats.

I used to hate, hate, HATE burpees. So I made myself avoid them and do something else, and still got results. Now I still hate burpees.

Lunges? It’s love/hate. I learned to love the challenge. And love the results. I concentrate on working the glutes with walking lunges. And adding weights gets grueling.
I just started the 3-12-30 treadmill workout—hate it! 😂

Lunges give me a screaming pain in my knees. I've never been able to push through the pain and do them regularly. I do split squats instead when I can get the positioning just right. Otherwise they're as painful as lunges.

I’m fine with lunges and squats even burpees but it’s that darn hinge I struggle with. Any and all hinges are just soo hard for me.. the position is what I struggle with, getting that proper form.

At the moment everything but sitting.

Probably power walking is the last choice I'd make.

Lunges are okay. I find in most videos they do them way to fast and I suffer with the form when trying to catch up. But BURPEES...I will click off a video if doing burpees. I have tried and tried them and my body just feels "off" kilter. It is uncomfortable and slightly painful. Hate them.
