    Hmmmm tough one. I'll say that before the workout I'm kind of thinking, "ugh again?" during the workout its more like, "I can do this, not so bad" and afterward its, "Oh man I feel sooooooo much better, I'm soooo glad I didn't punk out on myself!". :drinker:

    I. Hate. Every. Minute. Nothing enjoyable about pain and sweat. not for me.

    QFT.

    So why do I keep walking and getting coated in stinky sweat? Best explanation I have is I'm bored and eating while bored is my big No-No.

    I'd have to say I like what it does for me - the weight loss, strengthening, increased energy - but can only really enjoy a workout if it's something I don't think of AS a workout. Like dancing with friends or walking my dog through the forest.

    I love running. However, I can do without the weights. I find it extremely boring, but I do it because I know I need to.

    I like to work out if its something fun.

    I don't like running or lifting weights, both of those are pretty miserable to me. But I run because I'm hoping I'll "become a runner" since my access to a swimming pool isn't really existent year round, and I lift weights because I LOVE the way it makes my body look and the results I will hopefully see. I also hate being sore the next day and not being able to move, but I like the fact that it means my body is changing for the better

    So no, I don't like working out, I like how my body looks because I work out.

    I enjoy lifting weights, and I loathe cardio. I force myself to go through some cardio with every workout, but I need more.

    yes in general I do like to work out. Not always do I feel like doing it but I like the results I've had with weight loss and when I am done I feel great.

    When I first started, I did not like to work out. In fact, I dreaded it. Now, I can tell a difference when I haven't and definitely see that my mood is better when I have. I have found routines that I love doing and am addicted to the activities that I am doing.

    I can be a bit of a sloth getting around to it, but once I'm working out I love it.

    ^^ YES! I drag my feet because I know it's gonna hurt but DAMN I feel good afterwards!

    I like endorphins and food ... Therefore yes I like working out because it makes me happy and I can eat more peanut butter. :)

    This is me too. I'm always happy when I'm running. I'm trying to learn to love lifting, and I hope that when I develop some more confidence with lifting I'll start to enjoy it more.

    I've really grown to love working out. It's my zone out time. I enjoy pushing myself, and the exhaustion after is an odd sort of peaceful relaxation.

    I like sports and weightlifting. I don't like cardio for the sake of cardio alone (like on a machine) but when I was doing it I felt really good after! So even that wasn't horrible :)

    I choose exercise. I pick the ones I enjoy the most and then yes, I look forward to it. The trick is liking what you do. :smile:

    My Grand Daughter is spending the week with us and wanted to visit her Mom and Dad, After three nights of dropping her off at her house, while I went to work out for 2.5hrs, my Daughter-in -Law asked if I "liked" going to the gym. I didn't answer right away because I don't really "like" going to the gym. I 'Like" being healthy and looking better so I go to the gym. So do you "Like" to work out and why?

    I love, love, love working out....no other feeling compares to finishing a heavy set and contemplating how your body is being sculpted..I also love the opportunity of being alone with time for creativity I had more ideas for my business while working out that any other place.
