What is the one exercise that just kills you every time? For me , it's lunges, IDK why but every time I do lunges they wear me out immediately! I can do just about anything else but those lunges are killer!

    This will sound crazy but I absolutely hate leg curls with a passion. Hate them so much.

    Deadlifts are more taxing overall, but leg curls .. ugh.


    Lunges also.

    And taking out the trash and picking up my socks sucks too but that's because I don't get rest days.

    Abs - I just don't get it, you'd think it would be natural to keep your abs engaged while exercising but I only do it when I'm reminded and forget 100's, crunches or leg lifts (for lower abs) - they kill me!!

    Mine used to be push-ups, even the modified ones. I still don't like lifting, but the results sure outweigh my disliking them. So i keep it up!

    Running. Great while I'm doing it, but my hips hurt like whoa afterwards. (and, yes, I stretch afterwards and still am in pain). OUCH! (but it does my body such good that I'm loathe to stop)

    I would have to say ab work is one of the most challenging for me not only form wise but burn wise. Also for some odd reason while doing weight training I hate working out my upper back - its soo weak incomparsion to the rest of my body

    Anything that involves having my legs in the TRX, specifically atomic pushups! There is no need to make push ups any harder...:grumble:

    I can't follow anything with complex dance moves. They make me angry! I can do just about anything else, maybe not very many. I can run, but it's very hard on my skins and I just don't enjoy it.

    Honestly, for me it's stationary bike. I want to like it and I want to be good/strong on it, but I just can't get over disliking it. I just feel like no matter how hard I try I can't get my heart rate up and it makes my legs ache in weird places that other exercises don't which makes me dial back instead of pushing harder. I think I may make it a goal for the winter since I'm still restricted to low impact exercises due to an injury to get better on the bike.

    Lunges are really problematic for me, but two others for me are 1.) Tricep dips [I think that's what they are called], and 2.) Pushups. Not the supposed 'Girly' ones either. I can only do about four or five before I'm on the ground.

    I used to get hip pain when running and like you stretching helped only the tiniest bit - turns out I have poor pelvic stability. 3 weeks of physiotherapy and the pain is gone. You, too, can be a runner if you want :)

    Stair mill! It's the machine that is similar to an escalator...it keeps on going, up and you have to keep up with it. Very tough and I'm usually on it during some high intensity interval training...YIKES!
