    Elliptical.

    A treadmill can train you to be a better runner. A stationary bike can trail you to be a better biker. Weights just plain make you stronger. Yoga and pilates are good for balance and flexibility.

    WTF does an elliptical do other than make you a better ellipticaller?

    Plus, after my stress fracture, the unnatural movements of it made me feel like someone was trying to rip my foot off.

    Anything plank related, which means despising the second level of the 30DS.

    Ellipticals are good for building strength around the knees. They were invented to rehab knee injuries.

    Spinning classes are pure evil. Maybe I can deal when I'm smaller but for now spinning is the work of Lucifer himself!

    1. running on a treadmill - I only do it if it is raining (cloud to ground lightening)
    2. squats - hate em, but they work wonders on the *kitten*
    3. lunges - hate em, but they work magic on the quads, legs...

    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: )

    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.
