    You know, the one that when you hear it, you lose all the air and motivation no matter how many sets and reps.

    I without a shadow of a doubt hate and dread burpees.

    How bout ya'll?

    It's funny but I'll answer this the same way I answer what's your favorite exercise and that's the Deadlift. I don't "dread" the Deadlift per say nor does it de-motivate me but I do have a lot of respect for the lift and how it can completely **** you up if you're careless. I always approach my training seriously but for DL'ing I definitely stay more focused and get my head in the game. I'm a little cautious when I first start but after my 3rd warm-up set I'm usually in the right place for it.
    I love deadlifts, but you're right, you have to respect it. Just picking it up wrong could ruin your world for a few weeks.

    For me it was months... Last March I hurt my back DL'ing and I didn't take it too seriously until 2 weeks later I bent over and part of my disc popped out. Three months before I could DL again, 7 months before I could Squat again. DOH!

    I absolutely HATE side plank! It hurts so bad and I feel like a fat *kitten* because I have trouble lifting my own body weight in that position. :-(

    Mountain Climbers and Burpees for sure. I actually squeal and moan in pain and distaste when doing them.

    PUSH UPS!!! I hate when my trainer makes me do them because I suck at them. The most I got up to is 3 and I don't have weakling arms, I got some guns going but for some reason I just can't do push ups. Most. Hated. Exercise. Ever.

    ^^^ this. I'm up to 20 girl push ups after 2 months of work but I hate them and can't do a single real push up. Figure I just need to work harder.

    chinups

    For me, that would fall under the category of "which exercise can you not do more than 2 of"

    Ughhh burpees! My profile pic is of me at the spartan beast race last fall. If you failed at an obstacle the punishment was 20 burpees.

    For me it's lunges. I hate them with a passion but I do them and do all their stupid variations lol

    ^^ This. I can't stand lunges. I even prefer burpees over lunges. Bleah.

    Donkey calf raises. Don't get me wrong, they are super fun. It's just that everyone acts all awkward after. I don't get it.
