What's everyone's least favourite thing that you do regularly at the gym (not least favourite that you avoid)? I have horrible shoulder/t spine mobility from years of over practicing flute so I detest and suck at overhead press but I still do it because I know how important it is

Weight training, most of the time. But always pleased with myself after I get it done.0

Cardio, I hate it but I love it. I can't explain the relationship I have with cardio0

Running. Bench press is a close second.0

Running. I hate running but it's what makes me feel the best after.
Push-ups are second.0 -
Ab isolation work.... I never directly train abs. I. Just. Cant.0
-
Burpees, lunges and pushups.0

I can't either but for me it'a painful because I have Crohn's disease and my intestines are chronically inflamed.0 -
Push-ups. I'm terrible at them and I have a really hard time doing them with good form.0

There's a few yoga postures I don't like but do them anyway.
Once the weather forces me to get cardio at the gym, that will be the least favorite thing I do there. I love it outside; not so much inside.0 -
I stopped overhead press. It's not that important and was ruining my shoulders for swimming and running.0

Probably my least favourite exercise that I do regularly is ... climbing stairs.
I love cycling and walking.
I enjoy weightlifting ... it is one of the few things that gives me an adrenaline rush.
But climbing stairs isn't exactly inspiring. However, I do a minimum of 25 flights a day 5 days a week, and it has made a difference.0 -

It would have to be Over Head Press for me too. I started adding bulgarian split squats back in. Last year I told myself I'd never do another again but I want a nice butt so...I'm trying to make them regular. I really don't like leg curls either but always try to do them one way or another.0

I am not a big fan of running but once I talk myself into it Um committed. In the gym I force myself to do leg curls. Still not really sure why.0

Anything bicep. But ... balance. So I grit my teeth and get it done.0

They stink, right? My program has me doing them twice per week but I only manage once and do Good Mornings the other time instead. I have no idea if that is a good substitute. I hope.

Anything involving running/sprints ever though it's on my schedule five days a week.0

Squats.0

I go to a bootcamp-style fitness class 3x per week. Not fond at all of the burpees/lingers/jumping stuff, but I get it done. I do have to modify the jumping & shoulder stuff (injuries) but you gotta do what you gotta do.0
