    I think I am in the minority, because I actually like Burpees!

    despise jumping jacks, running & squats (but I think squats is just cause I have bad knees)

    Pretty much any long duration mild intensity cardio, although jogging would be at the top of my list. At the same time I love burpees, cycling, and a lot of other stuff people have mentioned here as stuff they hate.

    I do too! You're not alone.

    I would say I hate elliptical most, but sometimes I go on it anyway. Eh.

    I love to hate mountain climbers and pop squats, but I dislike any cardio of a long duration. I get so freaking bored. I do much better at interval or circuit training.

    Not sure if it is Lunges or Squats, they are the two exercises I loathe doing and try to convince myself my trainer won't know if I skip. She knows though commenting that they are both "weaker" than she expected.

    burpees

    What is a burpee?

    You start standing, squat, then put your hands on the ground infront of you , then kick your legs out behind you so that you are in a pushup position. Then you kick your feet back up into a squat position and stand back up.

    My wrestling coach in HS used to kill us with those but we'd have to do a push up before the kickout and again on the way back up. Then if he really wanted to be evil he'd make us run down to the other end of the gym do a burpee with pushups, then back again and another push up. Sometimes we'd have to do 10-15 reps of this.

    my old P.E. teacher called these "squat thrusts!" aka the devils exercise!

    I hear ya on the Burpees and Mountain Climbers. But my least favorite is definitely "high knees" - my trainer makes us do fast high knees for 1-2 minutes at a stretch in between sets of push-ups, squats, etc. and I HATE them.

    If you think regular burpees are killer, try doing them on the rounded side of a BOSU!!

    Stairs. Stair stepper or real stairs, doesn't matter. Hate 'em with a passion. Every time we have a fire drill (here at work), I have to walk down and back up 6 double flights of stairs, in high heels. I'm dying by the time I'm done (better than I was a year ago, but still...dying).
