I don't enjoy exercise! Anyone else!

I can understand where you are coming from. I myself like sports and exercising, but I am not very co-ordinated or strong or fast. My currant program is kind of simple and has a purpose. Maybe that's what you need to figure out. What you want exercise to give you and then how to get there. This is me for example.

I train in Aikido on Saturdays. I do this because it's an activity I can do with my 7 year old, I find it relaxing after a hard week at work , I enjoy the actually training and people in the adults class.

Because I can only train once a week , I get tired easy and it's taking me longer to learn techniques. If I trained more often , I would get fitter. So I have started walking more consistently and attempting to run a little. Hopefully increased cardio endurance will allow me to get more out of Saturdays. Also after been inside all week at work and the stress of dealing with certain people ( I am a factory worker) getting out walking three times a week is great for my soul.

Now I lift a lot at work. Very repetitive, standing in one spot sometimes, trying not to slouch. I have also had injuries at work. When I do regular weight training , I get less aches and pains, less of a muffin top ( posture helps there) , plus I enjoy it. So I do that three times a week.

There are plenty of active things to do that aren't traditional exercise as well. My dad works four hours a day in his garden and it's helping him maintain muscle mass. I do recommend strength training though, as I truly believe if you have been not so active it will lead to a more active lifestyle. It will help build a good base for other activities. Good luck

Your feet pointing inwards means that your posture is off.

try standing shoulder width, then jump stright up in the air and land(natural)

If your feet's pointing inwards at this landing position, you've got to work on your posture.

You might not like exercise but you might enjoy yoga. Yoga is quite relaxing and it works on your core/stability muscles.

Try beginner's yoga, looks like that could be your 'fit'.

I like to exercise, but only like to do certain things. I don't like to play sports in team and I hated P.E. while I was in school. I also don't mind exercising at home, but I find my home exercises to be lame.

I like to go to the gym and try to let my mind carry away as I work out. I also listen to fast paced, pop music when I work out.

I really enjoy taking walks and hiking, and running and riding my bike, but these are Spring-Summer-Early Fall activities.

I always "hated" exercise because i was overweight and out of shape. It was hard, i felt asthmatic and i was uncoordinated and inflexible. So I did as much walking as I could fit in my schedule. Walk in the mall, park as far out as I could at stores, walk to/from school with the kids, walk the park or around the neighborhood when the weather is good.

My friend also got me into yoga with a video. That helped me feel stronger and more flexible without being strenuous. Now that I've lost some weight, working out doesn't feel like a punishment.

Keep trying different things until you find something you like. I have discovered that I enjoy at home strength training. It started oh, so gradual. My profile explains just how itty, bitty and gradual it was.

I absolutely hate it. Loathe every second. But I've still been doing it several times a week for the past year, because I like the results.

What about changing your attitude? It seems like you've doomed all exercise from the beginning. You need to restart and open up your mind. Once you start seeing results you'll be whistling a different tune.

Okay, so the only activity you're mentioning enjoying* is walking - do that! There are plenty of MFPrs who've lost a ton of weight doing just walking. (Not that I'm dissing jogging, just pointing out it's not mandatory). You'll see improvement in your speed and how you feel at the top of hills.

*That might have sounded a little pointy, and I didn't mean it that way. What I didn't hear/see was any aspiration to "do" something (be it athletic like a triathlon or just fun like contra or ballroom dancing or even vigorous gardening). You're just not happy with how you feel in everyday stuff. Which can be fixed pretty easily by doing more of that stuff (like walking).

But then you also mention being "skinny/fat", suggesting you'd really like to change your body composition, which is what changes your appearance. If you want to do that, you may just have to do things that you don't "enjoy" - for the sake of achieving what you really DO want. Could be yoga, could be weightlifting, could be something else.

Hopefully you do some more experimenting with various workouts and find something that works for you. It's a bit like a job - you don't always WANT to get out of bed to go to work, but you want the rewards, and if you're smart, you choose your career so that most days you enjoy it or at least don't hate it.

If boredom is your main issue, do something different every day. Yoga, cycling, walking, strength video, kettlebells, rowing, play Wii, dance, trampoline, swimming, whatever.

I don't enjoy exercise. I tell myself that I'm on my butt or back practically all the other hours of the day, I can suffer through an hour of something for my health's sake. I don't like flossing my teeth or cleaning my house either. Sometimes it beats the alternative so you just do it.
