Ok, so I absolutely hate burpees and press(push)-ups mainly because I find press ups really hard. Plus I just dont like them. So yeah just thought I'd see what everyone else thought...

    Currently my most hated exercise is calf raises. Such a tiny exercise. Really you wouldn't think it would cause such hatred. However, somewhere between 25-35 on my way to 50 I would rather stab myself in the eye than do one more calf raise.

    Ditto. I hate burpees, pushups, and squats. Give me anything else! haha

    I have bad shoulder joints from years of swimming, so I dislike most pressing exercises. Especially a basic military press.

    I also don't overly care for lunges, since it makes my knees ache from going down so deep.

    Any cardio on a machine. I can't stand it for some reason.

    It used to be burpees, but after this morning's workout - jumping lunges! Evil! :tongue:

    Pretty much anything you have to do on the floor (crunches, sit-ups, reverse crunches, etc.). I have a nice big curve in my back so it hurts to do most of those exercises :ohwell:

    Working out on my stationary bike!!! It's a dinosaur from the 70's (I'm pretty sure) that I got from my parents when they bought their new one. It does the trick, but boy it sure SUX. :laugh:

    No matter how much or how often I do cardio I will always dread it. It's just bland to me. But that doesn't mean I'm going to stop doing it though :)

    circle slash on the burpees. lunges kill my knees but I have gotten better at the squats. push ups ... grrrrr. I can do 'girl' push ups and incline but just can not get the military push ups ...

    i have a DVD with 'turkish' sit ups... anybody know what this is!? can't do it- that's for teenagers, forget it

    There are none that I really hate right now... Of course, for now I am doing machine strength training rather than traditional lunges and such. My knee and shoulder bother me sometimes so I am cautious about those press exercises and leg extensions.

    Lunges. They're so incredibly dull and I always lose my balance, haha.

    just plain push up's. I guess I'm not doing them right cuz my abs hurt more than my arms after and the bf chuckles every time I try one. :ohwell:

    Weights I dont really know why. Maybe im just intimated by them becouse theirs so many different choices and excercises of course that being said I guess I can understand why some ppl like them.

    Redundant. I hate exercise. That is why I don't do it.
