How can I make myself stop hating exercise?
Answer from: Mark Givert - http://www.get-fitt.com

What you are experiencing is really quite normal. Many people find working out plain boring.

So most important is to be clear on;

1.What Benefits do You Want From Exercise?

Make a list of what benefits you would like from your exercise.

There is much research showing that exercise really is one of the best ways to achieve excellent health & maintain it.

Rejuvenation

Also high intensity exercise triggers production of Human Growth Hormone, which is responsible for youth and longevity.

Exercise is Good for Mind & Body

The list really is endless; the point is exercise is really beneficial not just for the body but also the mind.

Exercise provides a means of developing mental strength, endurance and improved ability to focus  and concentrate. These qualities are invaluable as they enable you to succeed in all arenas of life.

                  Have Enough Good Reasons to Motivate You

                     So be clear on your motivation to exercise -
                                      Enjoyment is Enough.

2. Think Activity NOT Exercise

Many of us make the mistake of thinking exercise must be in a Gymn and that it must be in the form of a workout.......absolutely not.

The Exercise Effect
Exercise will trigger the production of endorphins...making you feel good.
Hence once you begin working out it becomes pretty addictive as you start to feel great.

The more you do the more you want to do.

There may be a little time lag before you feel this as it takes time to get the body working again if you have been sedentary or not so active.

Replace the Word Exercise With Activity
With the work we do we talk about an Activity Plan; which is really constructive as many people do not like the idea of exercise.

3. Identify the Physical Activities You Love

Identify all the activities you love - make a list.

A range of physical activities can include any sport, Tennis, Golf, Football, Rugby, Walking, Swimming, Running, Riding a Bike, Dancing, Disco, Clubbing, Salsa, Ballet, Lifting Weights, Martial Arts, Boxing, Fencing, Running, Kayaking......  you get the idea. Basically anything involving physical movement.

Now you have the bigger picture and much more scope. Anything that involves physical motion.

4. Decide to Lead an Active Life

Make a decision to lead a more active lifestyle through increased physical activities that you really enjoy that provide the exercise you need.

Today we now sit the majority of the time and this is a big problem.

5. Enjoyment

So here the point is this that instead of undertaking exercise for the sake of it;
      Instead you are now undertaking activities that you love, 
                                simply because you enjoy them.

The result of you doing what you love to do is that you get the exercise you need. This works nicely.

I know this works, because I find exercise really boring, however when I walk the dog, or go running, boxing, kayaking, playing tennis etc, I really enjoy all of these things.

So by choosing the activities you love you get the exercise you need and you feel great.

                                          IT REALLY IS A WIN WIN SITUATION
