    I LOVE swimming. I might take 2 hours but Im doing laps the whole time.

    I HATE walking! It's pretty much the only thing I can do at this moment, I just get bored so quickly!

    I loved Chalean Extreme, and I also like to walk and really want to learn to run.

    I HATE floor work of any kind. I also dislike dancy moves.

    For me it's a big catch. All the ones I hate the most do the most for me. Planks, stationary lunges, jump squats, hack squats.

    I love to dance, so maybe I should try Zumba, what do you think Kell? Is it worth the investment?

    Yeah for sure! It is very fun! I have Zumba Exhilarate which is the newer version of Zumba

    Fav: Most any weight training and stretching. I always feel better after my workouts.
    Not-Fav: Anything even remotely close to lunges. Had a motorcycle accident years back and lunges and I are no longer talking.

    I love step areobics the most and because I have bad wrists I hate push ups. I also love Bob Harper DVD's (I'm not a fan of jillian Micheals)

    I like anything that's going to make me sweat and get outside of myself. Insanity, and the Asylum are my top two favorite workout programs ever. I also love pushups, jumping jacks, jumping robe and kickboxing, and not that silly Tae Bo BS either which I have actually done many years ago, over a decade lol. I like Billy Blanks spirit but his workouts are way too easy. Things I hate are walking, pilates, yoga and meditating. And still have yet to do the yoga video's in P90X or X2. I do not like to work out at a slugs pace, snail whatever lol. I might do the Yoga that come with the Tapout XT program when I start it back up because I'm missing out on a lot by not doing it. Still hate it though.

    Favourite- Biking, swimming, kayaking

    Least favourite- Everything else. (Especially anything that needs to/is usually done in a gym)

    The tvs dont interest me and music gets boring quick as well. But I have attention span problems as it is.

    I am a news junkie so decided to go to the gym when the news is on or anderson cooper 360. Then, I do the treadmill for 50 minutes- it's about 400 calories for me.
    A friend recommended a couch to 5k program but she has an iphone and I have a droid. Anyone have a program they like?

    Strength training really bores me but I'm hoping if I keep switching it up I'll like it more. I also HATE knee to chest jumps. Mainly because they are really hard for me and I suck at them.

    Power yoga is by far my favorite. Second would be running or any cardio really.

    My favorite.. just lifting weights in general. I like squats and deadlifts.

    My least favorite is the treadmill, elliptical, or any other cardio machine that is designed to make you want to kill yourself out of boredom.

    THAT!! But I love running and boxing and weights (although I'm not allowed near the last two at the moment, since I have a shoulder injury

    Favorite exercise is running, I love it! Least favorite has to be burpees, they are the worst. I used to hate planks but I think I've made peace with them and they are now tolerable.
