What is that ONE exercise you can't stand?

When I do push-ups I cry. Literally. I cry because I feel like I am SO weak in my upper body. I can crank out 15-20 knee push-ups but cannot do 1 "to the floor" toe push-up. :cry:

    Running. Hate it, hate it, hate it.

    I used to hate pull ups. But trainig and persistance prevailed. I do them all the time. ie.. I could only manage about 4. Now i can do 3 sets of 10 easy.

    Insanity floor switch kicks.... I think I have short arms or something. I know I will never be a break dancer, lol.

    I have not found a exercise I do not like at the moment and honestly speaking.

    Lunges & squats

    I can't do a real push-up either due to the pressure on my wrists. I can do a girl push-up (on my knees instead of toes)

    I hate anything that puts my head upside down (like mountain climbers). I don't even know why, I just hate it!

    I'd agree with Push-ups. I can barely do 10 or so and watching Mr. Tony Horton busting out 40+ is rather discomforting.

    My least favorite would probably have to be the "Superman Banana" that you do in P90X. It makes me feel so sluggish. :(

    Pull-ups, because i've not yet mastered them. Or maybe this evil new exercise my trainer introduced yesterday, which basically consists of a donkey kick while balancing the Smith machine bar on your instep.

    Walking on a treadmill ... it bores me SENSELESS! I've tried reading, music and TV while treadmilling and none of them help. However, I do like walking, it is one of my favorite exercises.

    the weight machine where you sit back into it, put your ankles under the roller, and lift it up to work your quads. I don't know the name, quad extensions maybe? that device always makes my knee joints HURT. I'll stand in horsse stance until my quads are quivering, but I HATE that machine!

    I used to hate burpees but I'm starting to be okay with them. My current hatred is for squats and the prowler (my nemesis).

    Hmm. Many women seem to have a problem with pushups. Try some flat bench starting with just the bar (45lbs) and go from there. Also use the bench machine and dumbells. Add these to the workouts.

    Try Ab Ripper X from P90X.... I think that is fun and challenging. Even the Insanity Ab workout is okay, but I like Ab ripper the best.
