Working out is not enjoyable?!
Question: Working out is not enjoyable!?
I know I need to workout to be healthy, but I just don't like it--no matter how long I force myself to do it!. I really do wish I was like the millions of people who LIVE for workouts and training!. Does it ever get easier!? Is there a certain point at which it becomes ENJOYABLE!? Or do people who love to workout just do it for the results!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
It takes 2-3 weeks for it to become at all routine!. I'm not sure if I ever called my workout itself "enjoyable" but the feeling I have afterwards and the feeling I have when I see myself in the mirror (or am able to do something athletically) is the reward for the workout!. This is the part that is "enjoyable!."
You should find that the day-to-day course of your life should be "enjoyable" because you are healthy and fit!.
That said, there are things you can do to make it more enjoyable!. I listen to music I really like on my i-pod when I work out!. Moving your body to good music is like dancing- physical exertion to music!. Then, I plan my running or biking routes along enjoyable courses, rather than being on a boring treadmill!. Some people work out with friends and find the social interaction enjoyable!. For me, it's more of a meditative state!. It is my form of prayer where I focus solely on myself, my mind and what I intend on doing that day, that week or whatever!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Some people just like it!. I hate it, have always hated it, and will continue to do so!. The trick is to make it part of something else where you can!. If you're lifting weights, or using a treadmill, elliptical, stationary bike, or really any indoor exercise equipment, you can watch tv or a movie, read a book, or listen to the radio!. I find it helps if I am not concentrating on the workout!. The other half of incorporating it into something else is to try to make part of your workout sports instead!. A good long swim is much more enjoyable than hanging out in the gym, as is a game of racketball, both of which are superb cardio/whole body exercise!. Any fast paced/high movement sport is probably at least an okay cardio workout, and is more fun than just running!. Try to find something you like!.

I would suggest trying a vast variety of things!. It may take some time before you find the one thing that you enjoy!. For me, I like to run and fast walk on the treadmill BUT I need some good music or the tv for something to watch!. For my sister, she LOVES jazzersize!. She has always loved excersize classes, she gets a great workout and has met some good people!. Also, weight lifting is awesome!. Get a trainer (its great to have someone to show you the proper forms, reps, etc!. and someone to talk to)!. There is such a vast amount of things you could try!. Just don't give up!. 30 minutes a day!. That is all you need to keep telling yourself!. For some suggestions, there is also marathons, boxing, kayaking, aerobic classes (such as spin), a local intramural sport such as softball, soccer, etc!. Also, buy a little MP3 or ipod and hook up some good tunes!. Sounds silly, but it somehow it gives you that little bit of extra energy!. Before you know it, you will find what you like and it can become a great stress reliever for you!. !. !.and you can stay in shape!Www@Answer-Health@Com
I LOVE working out!. It becomes addictive to a point because it just leaves you stress-free!. Do you have an mp3 player!? I'll be unable to workout efficiently without it!. It's also psychological!. Just think about how much you're benefiting your life and body with exercise!. The exercise will help prevent heart disease, lower cholesterol, and much more!. Thinking about living a longer, healthier life is the biggest motivation!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
