What's everyone's favourite and worst exercise?

My Favourite is either squat or chess press as I find it easy and enjoy big weights with these exercises.

Worst is pull ups or Jumping/leaping lunges, trying to improve my pull ups and my heart races when doing leaping lunges not to mention my legs ache.

    Squats - Mainly as my best lift

    Deadlifts - Great to let all the Anger out

    I suck at Pull ups, Slowly improving them, Tried "Good Mornings" a few times, all kinds of Wrong!

    fav - deadlift

    worst - *kitten* packets (This is where you lie on the floor and raise your legs up by just an inch or so, it probably has a proper name but that's what we call it at derby. lol. I cannot do it at all, I don't know why.)

    LOL! *kitten* packets ... I love that name!

    Favorite: Rowing machine. I alternate grip and plane every 10 calories so my arms are stinging after 10 minutes.
    Worst: Any cardio! I do 35 minutes of it but can't stand it. Give me a ball or something to chase after then I'm fine.

    Favorite exercise is squat.
    Least Favorite is squat.

    I generally work around the 85-95% of my 1rm on this and when you are in that range, everything hurts while you do it.

    I used to really enjoy crunches, but now I hate them. The feel like a chore. I don't know if muscle weakness from two pregnancies have anything to do with this. When I get down to do crunches, I have actually just found myself laying there falling asleep instead.
