Then don't. I don't know what your goals are, but if it's to lose weight, all you need is a calorie deficient daily/weekly. I've lost 12lbs since December with diet alone.0
-
I don't either, but my urge to stuff my face with all kinds of food is just a smidge stronger than my urge to be a lazy couch turd, so off I go running every day. Sucks, man.0

The days you dont want to exercise are the days you need exercise the most.0

Hi! If you are just getting aquainted then I say hello!
P.S. I am not an exercise lover... but I know what it does for me and since I have been exercising regularly since last October, my day or week is not complete with out it!
Give it time. and if you have a hard time getting up to do it.. The second it comes to your mind (and you time to do this) put on your work out clothes and workout shoes! Once the work out clothes come on, then just started moving and get your self motivated!
For example, I need to go right now and do this... I keep writing on the forums, but in a second I will just get up and do it! And one hour later I will be in the warm shower!0 -

I don't really want to exercise, but I love the results. Kind of like shaving my legs. I don't enjoy doing it, but it's better than stubble.

i personally suggest if u are just starting focus on diet. for my first two months i just did that, with walking occasionally and did lose. maybe 10-15lb but i was quite overweight at the time. once i lost that i wanted to be lighter AND fit. well to be fit and truly healthy i believe that takes exercise. u dont need to be a maniac right off the bat. start with just walking maybe 10 minutes of light weight lifting. u will get there0

yep...*kitten* exercise

I hate to exercise- and refuse to go to the gym by myself lol,, but once I get there- I never regret it0
-
I never used to workout. I didn't think I liked it either - because I never really tried it. I think the key is finding something you enjoy (walking, running, lifting, aerobics, zumba, boxing, dancing, swimming, biking, pilates...the options are endless).
You don't have to workout to lose weight, but I promise you'll feel better if you do .0 -
I didn't like exercise when I started losing weight, now it's habit and I do enjoy the feeling after a really good workout. I feel a little lost on days when I don't exercise and if I skip more than two days in a row, I feel sluggish.0
-
If you have any vanity goals this no exercise thing might change.0
-
I hear you. I don't want to exercise either.
I also don't want to work but there's all these bills that I have to pay and I quite like having food and heat in my house. So I do it. That's sort of how I look at exercise.0 -
i know the feeling. some days i am motivated others not so much but i still do it. and, I can't remember a time that i walked away from the gym and felt like i completely wasted my time.0
-
I never wanted to either. Even when I was young and slender.
However my family likes to hike and do "things" that I'd like to do too but can't do very well while being overweight.
My brother and his wife posted a picture on facebook of the two of them at the top of a small mountain in Washington state. It was a gorgeous view. I wanted to go to that same spot.
It was exercise but oh so worth it...I was in tears...the view...the accomplishment. .was overwhelming. There is a pic of us there in my profile.
I've also decided I enjoy bicycling and kayaking so I do them.
I now go to the gym so I can do the things I like more easily lol.
Maybe there is one or two things you enjoy doing like walking or kayaking ( super low impact) that you could just do...just because you like doing them . Don't think of it as exercise.0 -
I never liked exercising either. While I was losing weight all I did was shovel snow when I had to. Then I started going for a walk to ease my stiff back, after finding out that it was the ONLY thing that helped. But the feeling of enjoying moving kinda crept up on me (I discovered my very dusty indoor rower was super-easy without all the flab in the way - the time I discovered that I giggled the whole way through the 20 mins), and then I decided that I wanted to have some muscles on my arms and legs, mainly to help preserve my joints as I get older, and hey presto! I started exercising! And now, if I miss a workout or don't do something every day I get really itchy and twitchy and am basically like that little kid who fidgets the who way through class.
Losing weight really increased the amount of excess energy I have, but I would never, ever do exercise that I don't enjoy (so no exercise classes, no crunches, no treadmill, no rock-climbing, no swimming). Life's too short to waste minutes on things I don't like.0 -
As others have said, if your goal's healthy weight loss, exercise isn't necessary.
If you have another goal, you just have to decide whether it's worth pushing yourself to exercise. Kinda like you force yourself out of bed to go to work. The AHA advises at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week, which could be something as simple as a brisk walk.

Last night I didn't want to go either, kept trying to talk my husband out of it lol. He still made me go, and surprisingly I did better than usual, even did an extra 10 mins on my usual hour. like they say you never regret a good work out.0
-
ummm okay0
-
Then don't then, as others have said yu can lose weight without. All things being equal though you will lose weight faster, be healthuer, lose less muscle and generally be better off doing exercise. If you dont want any of that carry on.0
-
There's lots of things in life that I don't like to do (like pay bills, work out, be civil to jerky people) but I do them anyway because I like the results. Taking care of yourself is part of being a grownup0
-
You don't have to. But you get to eat more if you do!0
-
I don't like wiping my butt.0
-
I can't eat all the foods if I don't do the exercise..........without penalty of course
You choose.0 -
I don't want to either, but I know it's better for my body and my long-term goals0
-
Don't want to type either, I see. I like exercising now.

THIS.
I dislike working out. I hate being sticky and sweaty (and I am a big-time sweater!). But I LOVE food. Thus, I work out.
I make a schedule for myself. And, as lame as it sounds, I put stickers on my calendar for each time I work out. I feel accomplished to look back at the week and see all the times I decided not to be a "lazy couch turd."0 -

I wonder what other active activities you hate?
