Love getting new ideas :] Tell me why too!

I LOVE:

Cardio - running distance 5+ miles if I have the time :]
Strength - Dead lift and pushups! Only because I am good at them ;]

I CANNOT STAND
Cardio - Sprinting. I don't like feeling burnt out and lactic acid xD
Strength - Any sort of core work... just tedious!
