    I hate playing team sports. My hand-eye coordination is so bad I feel pity for any team I play on.

    I hate all "workouts" ..... I train..... I have a specific end goal in mind and am working towards something. Workouts are just that one workout with little to no significance.

    This. I can't wait to get to the gym and train every day. Because everyday is a piece of the larger puzzle that's making me a better lifter.

    Sometimes people who don't know me too well make the mistake of inviting me to play something like badminton or netball, thinking because I like running this means I am a generally sporty person.

    5 mins in they know better and never ask me to play on their team again.

    Does anyone like burpees though? I feel like they're in the universally hated category.

    I really dislike running- it's my least favorite of the activities I do semi-regularly. I don't really love any workout, but agree about needing the routine of it.

    Any gym class that's done as a coordinated group - especially with over-enthusiastic instructors. Makes me feel like I accidentally ended up on a cheer squad.

    Also, the first time doing a new exercise sans instruction where I'm fumbling around trying to figure out what the hell I'm supposed to be doing. Annoys me because I don't get any physical benefit out of it. I don't even count it as a workout. And I feel like a goof ball.

    Static stretching & yoga. So boring (don't meant easy). Doesn't feel like I'm doing anything except contorting to no good purpose. Much rather foam roll or do dynamic stretching.

    I am just so not interested in classes. I like doing everything at my own pace and I am pretty uncoordinated.

    I wish I could get more into lifting but I can't stay motivated to do it consistently like I can cardio.

    I like cardio except the elliptical. It seems like I am doing more work compared to running and rowing with less results and it is annoying.

    The workout I don't do is the workout I hate.

    Took the words right out of my training journal.

    I enjoy my current routine..however, you'll never catch me in a spin class or on an elliptical.

    I hate mountain climbers, yet when asked to do them I grudgingly comply.

    I'm not a big fan of core exercises. Whenever it's time to work on my core, I think, "UUUUUGGGGGGHHHHH." But I do then anyway because I need to keep that area strong to keep my back pain from coming back.

    I've never done a burpee, but I have a feeling I'd hate it too.

    +1. I am a liability, not an asset. It gives me anxiety just thinking about it.

    Love the instructor-led dance fitness classes, though, unlike previous poster stealthq. They are silly and fun.

    I actually hate running, but love how I feel AFTER running, I like having run. Not while it's going on though.

    Used to hate yoga but the current classes have music and you keep moving, it's challenging and I progress in strength, I like yoga now.

    Naturally lean toward adagio, tai chi, slow and smooth movement my body is good at. Twitchy quick stuff, not so much. That's why I run, though. To work on what is less natural for me.

    I love burpees! I've progressed so much with them, more than anything so far!

    I hate lunge walking. My trainer makes me do it all around the gym with weights and I loathe every second.

    I'm also exceptionally bad at planks so they're not high on my list.

    I'm glad someone else can't stand spin class. I've been cycling since elementary school and when I joined a gym in my 20's I thought spin would be this great thing to do when it's 115 outside. Nope. A decade later I would still say that was the most boring hour of my life. No wind through my hair, nothing to look at but the same four walls, no sense of adventure, just horrible.
    I also tried kickboxing a few times when it was popular. I found the activity enjoyable, but could not get used to a class full of people kicking and punching so close to my head.
    I used to passionately hate squatting, so I forced myself to do Stronglifts. After squatting three days a week it's just become another exercise.
    I haven't ever done a burpee. After reading these comments I don't think I'm going to start.
