  • KJV- you like burpees and good mornings. you are truly one of a kind :wink:

    Awww aren't you sweet?! I kinda like to think I am!! :);) The way I see it, they are a hell of a lot better than planks and bear crawls!! :tongue:

    I think it would be sit-ups or any kind of floor exercises. Not necessarily because they are hard, just boring.

    what is the exercise called where you put your back against the wall and move down so it looks like you are seated on a chair? those absolutely make my legs go on fire

    Its where you jump up, then go all the way down to the floor on your stomach, and then jump back up..........and repeat..........

    yoga. I will do pullups/pushups until my arms fall off. I adore burpees. But you make me do yoga by dragging me tooth and claw to my mat, and then hold a gun to my kneecap.

    Burpees!!!! Why did some sick @ss individual come up with those damn things???

    I heart burpees!!

    my buddy does fitness challenges and did 104 of them. I honestly would die.

    i didnt think anyone actually loved them

    The only time I would hate to do them is if I was sore..........the last time I said "F**K" out loud.......my trainer was shocked cause I really don't come across as the type to curse! :) I have yet to hear anyone say bear crawls..........talk about pure evil!!

    What are bear crawls? I may hate them too and just not know it yet ... LOL ;-)
  • My least favorite is running. I can't stand running around the track or on a field. I feel exhausted and I feel like I am running to no where!

    Pushups - because I'm so weak at them.
    And stationary bikes - I can do the treadmill (though that's boring as bat****) but that bike just bores me stupid. Lucky I don't use a gym very often, only when I'm travelling and I can't run outside and there's a hotel gym.

    bear crawls are where you look like you are trying to climb the ground. you are down on all fours walking forward....

    I am weird, if i hate an exercise i do it until it becomes easy for me. like pushups for 7 mos, i started out only doing one, now i can do 15, i HATED burpees, now i can do them so well i can jump way up high, mountain climbers a breeze. Walking lunges, i started doing them every other day for a full 10 minutes, it does amazing things to your butt!! the one thing i cannot beat are pull-ups, i've done the machine for weeks and still can only do one and half full unassisted pull-up. oh and bicycles at the end of ab class still kill me.

    I don't think there's any exercise that I dislike. However, I don't like treadmills much, they feel weird to me!

    I don't like stairs... I would rather run for miles than walk up say 15 flights of stairs. Anything 5 floors or below no problem, but I just don't enjoy trudging up any further than that. I'm on floor 8 - I have forced myself to take the stairs but never enjoy it.

    I don't. If it makes the muscle burn, I'm doing it! I guess anything that doesn't push me.

    I'm going with swimming, just can't bring myself to do it. Honestly, its been so long since I've swam without a kid hanging on me, I'm not sure I could swim a lap.

    Or pull-ups, I really really want to be able to do them, but just can't do it.

    Lunges...I can never do them right and they kick my *kitten*. If I can master the lunge I will die a happy woman.

    Anything involved me bending my knees. I can do SOME abs but squats, lunges, etc are a no go for me. I'm 22 with bad knees lol go figure
  • Old school sit ups... and lunges... good lord my knee hates me after those lunges.
