I enjoy walking a lot and jogging to a certain extent, but traditional exercise like push ups, sit ups, pin ups, skipping and the like are things I absolutely dread, how do I get over that?

Set goals and work towards specific accomplishments. Then it becomes like a game where you’re competing against yourself.

I love sit ups and planking, even push ups even if I suck at them. I think of exercise as a celebration of what my body can do, not as a punishment. I am alive, I have legs that can walk, run and squat. Someday I am not here and before that my body will not work the way I want. Now I can sweat and evolve, make myself stronger to enjoy life longer.

If I we’re you I would slowly ease you react self into things like push ups by starting with similar yoga poses then maybe do the slightly harder ones and before you know it you’ll be doing push ups like a boss

Just start it, at first, i feel that too. Start with a simple one, lime 5 minutes each day. Or even shorter, just start it. 5 minutes isn’t matter right? 5 minutes, just 5 minutes or even shorter. You can do it. Or you can combine jogging with some traditional exercise tho.. k man good luck

If you’re anything like me, when you first started jogging, you didn’t like it. But it sounds like you’re beginning to enjoy it more. I think it’s the same for strength training. First you’ll tolerate it, but over time you’ll enjoy it. Listening to music while working out can make it more enjoyable.

Hi there, I really struggled getting into the exercise regime, as I found I have no energy to do it in the evenings so I could only do it in the morning. I tried doing the simple exercises on this app every morning. They are well timed, but great exercises that make you feel good like you have had a long workout. Small ones every day for 3 days gets you into a great system or routine. Now I feel ready for the day!

I’m no expert, but my personal opinion is that you don’t have to get used to something you dread when you already have some exercises your are comfortable with. Just build a habit of exercising regularly, doing activities you enjoy.

Ask yourself this question. Why am I denying myself a better life/future for yourself? Because you don’t want to a exercise. You have the answer.

By doing more of the activities you DO love. Doing those activities that you already love with more vigor will eventually energize you to try new things and to push yourself out of your comfort zone.

I recommend to use Apps / for me, it was Sworkit and Workout app that helped me enjoy little workouts in-between. If you also own an Apple Watch, the workouts help you to close your Apple Watch Activity rings.
