[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I cannot find the "exercise I'll keep doing because I enjoy it."

After a lifetime of not exercising, I started jogging. That went fine for a while, but I didn't really enjoy it, so eventually stopped.

I thought biking might be nice, but I distrusted my willingness to keep with it, so I bought a pretty cheap bike and it's heavy and I hate it, so no biking happened.

I decided I'd work out at home with apps. That was a disaster because knowing I can do it anytime meant I did it no time. So then I joined a gym and I've been going religiously but I also hate it and can see it dropping off.

So...what? What can I do? What will stick? I have work and kids so I need something I can do really early in the morning or randomly during breaks in the day. I'm just kind of a physically lazy person but I don't [u]want[/u] to be that way.
Any ideas?[/quote]

Maybe try some classes (if you can leave your house early in the morning)?  I think spin classes, barre classes, and dance classes are all pretty fun, and signing up in advance is motivation to go bc otherwise they charge you anyway.

Also, walking is pretty underrated as a form of exercise and is much more pleasant than jogging, without the hassles of needing to change into exercise clothes, shower, redo hair and makeup, etc.  Find a podcast series or audiobook you like and only listen to it when you're walking.  Finding out who the killer is (or whatever) can be good motivation to put the headphones in and get out there :)[/quote]
