[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - The walks with a friend do help. I like to chat while I walk. So there's that.

What kind of classes do you like (those with ADHD or who find exercise boring?)

Looking back in my past, I don't think I ever had the experience of enjoying any exercise classes. I did really enjoy a dance class I took years ago, in college. I think having to pay attention to the different moves kept me more able to focus.

I also enjoyed contra dancing for the same reason.[/quote]

Also have ADHD and I can totally relate to your post, OP.  My hyperfocus for many other things has not made its way to exercise, unfortunately.  In fact, I think the mindset that it has to be _a_WHOLE_thing with a routine and a program and resources makes me give up before I start.

Classes that have worked for me are Zumba (it's been several years, but I liked it - you might too given your dance experience) and now I do a HIIT class and a strength training class that are structured into sets/patterns of short increments.  It goes quickly and keeps my brain occupied, and I like the structure and the social aspect of seeing the same people a few times a week.[/quote]
