I find it boring too. What works for me is that I do weights (the routine doesn't vary) before I brush my teeth in the morning. Part of my daily ablutions ritual, I don't think about it or need to enjoy it, it just happens.
Routine works, I've done it every day for 20 or so years barring sickness/travel. I suspect people who get that 'high' from running or working out are just different from the rest of us.
Oh I force myself to run in the evenings before dinner, just 2km. I hate that too. Have only been doing that the last year or so.
Ok glad im not the only one. Yea making it a habit is probably a good approach, although i wonder the health benefits (dont know the intensity/duration you do)
Running is another killer for me, unless im specifically going somewhere for a reason... why am i running. Ugh
Well, I haven't varied the routine much at all since I was 14 and it still feels intensive. It is an exhausting 3-4 minutes. I don't put on extra muscle, I maintain what I have. So I look much stronger than I am.
Fair enough. Thanks for the perspective. just posting about this got me going building 'ninja' obstacles again in the garage, nothing crazy more borderline rock climbing similarity, but still something.
