    Running is for "low-skill" people? :huh: Lol, uh...okay,

    But to answer your question, I dislike doing planks and the elliptical machine (the latter of which I do on the cardio days where I am not derping around with my low-skill running exercise. Sometimes I need a bit of a challenge, I guess. :tongue: )

    Burpees, mountain climbers (pretty much anything in planks right now), pushups, and Turkish get-ups.

    Team sports. I hate them, and I'm also terrible at them. These two things form a continuous feedback loop.

    Cross-fit. I just don't get it, it feels weird, and Mr. Teacher jumping up and down yelling at me isn't improving my comprehension.

    Burpees - I think these were designed specifically to exhaust and humiliate. Is there any practical application for them?!?

    Push-ups -HATE them. Like burpees, I've had too many instructors who used them just to punish, exhaust and humiliate us.

    Pull-ups - I've never been able to do these, and it's just humiliating everytime somebody demands them.

    Back extensions with weights. I had a personal trainer insist on this one. I don't know it it's good for me, but I get a backache for at least 5 min after every set.

    EDIT: Last but not least, running. I admire people who can run every day, but it just turns my feet into blistered hamburger.

    Lunges, and burpees. Mostly because I'm double jointed so some moves like that can make me hyper-extend.. and it hurts..

    I also have recently hated the treadmill. I wouldn't say it's for "low skill" people.. I'm a runner myself (or was), but I hate the treadmill. mostly because I have a foot injury now, and the treadmill makes it 10x worse, when running outside is 100 times better on it. It's also nice to be going somewhere instead of staring at something and not really moving. TV or not, I get bored.
