    Indoor cardio. I'll put up with it (and the boring ceilings) for swimming, since water gets *cold* in winter, but if it's on foot or wheels... Not Inside. Indoors is for gymnastics, iron, and mat work.

    Yoga comes in for a pretty close second on the "Times to say No" list, but "greet the sun" in the park at sunrise is still better than indoor cardio.

    I don't do exercises I don't like ;)


    Yep, pretty much.

    For me, jogging. I hate anything to do with running, and do not run. But I do intervals of jogging quite often and I try to like it...but still dislike it.

    It blows my mind when women heavier than I am (218 lb) are runners. More power to them, but I can't even imagine!!!!! And for the record I'm fairly decent shape really, no medical probs, good endurance with bicycling, swimming, working long hours physically & walking long distances etc. Just not a runner!!!

    If you mentally hate one type of exercise, then it's not good for your well being and you shouldn't do it.

    Only exercise if you want to exercise and choose exercises you enjoy doing.

    Anything boring and/or repetitive. Can't stand cardio machines and I have almost no patience for weight training. I love fitness that feels like playing. If it is outdoors, even better.

    I'm the crazy lady running or cycling in the rain.

    Maybe 'hate' was a bit of a strong word...

    I CAN and most of the time, do put up with lunges because I know I can do it and it'll be over at some point. I do Bodypump and the lunge track specifically burns a heap of calories so I suck it up and go with it. It sounds silly but I get ridiculously happy at the end knowing that I managed to finish the routine :bigsmile:

    I agree with what you say when it comes to cardio though. Lunges at most take up 4 to 5 minutes (in Bodypump anyway) but I can't imagine using the "it will be over soon" line in my head when it comes to running/jogging/cycling/elliptical.

    Lunges and more recently dumbbell step-ups. Ugh, I know both are so damn good but I dislike them so damn much!

    Any unilateral leg stuff like lunges, Bulgarian split squats, db step ups. Therefore, I don't do any of them. Ever.

    Push ups are pretty hated aren't they! I definitely agree, they're on of my most despised exercises. I pretty much enjoy almost all of the other strength exercises using weights, but it's body weight exercises i'm not a big fan of.

    Push ups and lunges they target a whole load of weak muscles and never fail to be painful but I try anyway, still cannot do a full military push up though :grumble:

    Curtsy lunges with weights - I can do them physically, but they aggravate my lower back.

    Spinning - That was the longest hour of my life, although the music was really good. I burned a lot of calories, but I'd rather bike ride outdoors.
