I need friends who love exercising!

My whole life is an exercise. If you need any help or motivation I'd be more than happy to try to help you

I used to hate exercise too until a few years ago. You just need to find something you enjoy and stick with it. For me, it was yoga. Exercise is a great stress release and builds the libido too!

Hey there, I play for a netball team and I have to say I hate the off season and am happiest when playing netball. But I can understand that exercise can feel like a chore when you're not doing something you love. Just like everyone else said it seems like you need to find something that you love doing... Why not try Zumba classes? They're pretty fun. Could also try getting some friends to work out or go jogging with, this might make it all a lot more enjoyable. Hope you find something you enjoy! Feel free to add me

Try everything!!! I take whatever class is offered at the local rec center. I became friends with the others in the class, so now it's like social hours. Some of my gym buddies only do Zumba classes, some kickboxing, others will do two back to back KettleBell and Kickboxing. Point it, just keep trying different things till you find something you enjoy. Train for an obstacle race if your competitive like the Spartan races.

Keep looking for things till you find something you really enjoy, so that you want to go do it.
:happy:

I too am one who has a problem with exercise. Than I found swimming. More than happy to help motivate if you want a freind.

Me! I have burned over 7000cals so far this month, counting exercise days. It's all been biking, hiking and weights.

salter.....feel free to add me....I exercise at least 6 days a week.....

and

Fran darling.....i'm sorry if I sound rude, but seriously???? freezing....in Melbourne?????....I grew up in new Zealand (miss it heaps!!!)....and now I live in Alberta, Canada......you want freezing....come up here in January!!!LOL......just being a cheeky kiwi...your comment just made me laugh is all......:).....add me too if you like, even if I am the enemy!!!!....go All Blacks!!!!!!

Feel free to FR me. I try to workout everyday & love it

I completely hate exercising and constantly do it under duress so I really need some mfp buddies who can teach and help me to love exercise. Anyone up for the challenge?

Challange accepted.

As others have said, keep trying new things until you find something you either love or at least like more than you dislike. With these new activites you'll need to stick with them for a little while. I find the better you get at something the more you enjoy it. I.e. do one zumba class and you feel uncordinated and like eneryone else knows all the moves, but after 3-5 you'll fit right in.

So OP - tell us what you have tried and what exactly you dislike about it?

I try and fit plenty of walking and treadmill in. I have a Fitbit pedometer, and something like that or perhaps a heart rate monitor is very motivating as it adds in a bit of competition.. I seem to have some active friends here, one of whom has replied to your message. Add me if you want someone who does a fair bit of exercise without having time to go OTT.

I absolutely love exercising! My new ''love'' is lifting weights- especially deadlifts and squats. I really love feeling strong
and sore the next day- though rest days are a pain because I'm away from my weights lol I usually just run on the elliptical
for an hour (which is actually pretty tiring because I'm usually like...to the point of breaking it haha!) So now on rest days I absolutely love taking extremely long walks (I can withstand 3-5 hours) and just admiring the view....jk, I'm usually shopping.

I've been dying to do pilates but I'm a little shy to new classes. I'll give it a go once my knee (I think its runners knee) feels better.

Don't give up! Find things you enjoy- maybe a kickboxing class? A barbell class? Yoga?

love it - add me
