This is true. I wouldn't call myself "fit", but over the past year or so I've made some lifestyle changes, lost 30 lbs. and stuck to a regular exercise regimen as well as a more moderate diet. I feel better and I really like being healthier. The things I don't like?

Excercise
Not being able to stuff my face with junk food and carbs
Exercise
Feeling sweaty and tired after exercise
Having to set aside time each day to exercise instead of lying around the house
Feeling hungry when I'd like to have a second helping of something or another piece of cake
EXERCISE


I don't do the whole green shake or any weird diet thing, I simply eat less and focus more on lean protein and lots of vegetables. I think most people exaggerate just how RAINBOW ROCKETS AND FREE PUPPIES AWESOME it is because they're either starving or they feel the need to motivate themselves so they're sometimes engaging in unconscious hyperbole so they feel it more. I dunno.

So much yes with the exercise, I mean I got used to not having second helpings and grew to enjoy healthy food, but I've never learned how to like exercise, it's always been the hardest thing for me to stick with. All these people going on about endorphins baffle me. What are these mysterious things that make you feel happy instead of gross and sweaty and exhausted after working out? Please give them to me at once!

Do you know if you have sleep apnea or not? Because my doctor warned me that, if I have sleep apnea, I'm not going to feel the endorphin rush after exercising until that is dealt with. The sleep apnea tends to run your body ragged throughout the night, forcing adrenaline rushes that don't actually get used, and the result is a miserable exercise experience.

[(Anonymous)]

I'll definitely check that out, thank you! I just thought I wasn't the exercising type, haha.

Finding a kind of exercise you enjoy helps a lot imo

[(Anonymous)]

TBH, the only exercise I enjoy is lifting a fork to my mouth. I do it because it has to be done, kinda like going to the dentist.

[(Anonymous)]

The only way I stick to my exercise regimen is think about it as little as possible, as in, it's not exercise, it's just a thing I do every night like brushing my teeth. I read or listen to music while on the treadmill. Afterwards, I feel satisfied and glad it's done, but not sure I'd call that a "rush", per se.

But if you're exercising regularly and not seeing ANY progress in terms of improved endurance, I'd get a check up at the doctor's to make sure everything else is all right. It's not necessarily sleep apnea, but it could well be something like iron deficiency or not enough thyroid hormones.

Try cycling

[(Anonymous)]

Hmmm.

I mean, I go for regular walks/jog around my neighborhood. And it's not so much the exercise I enjoy, but the fact that if I DON'T do it regularly, I start to feel really gross. Like, sluggish and grumpy and lacking in energy. So it keeps me in a good mood.

That's after I've built up a routine and started pushing myself to go because I "had" to - like you said, the whole "dentist" thing. And now I go because I /want/ to, to feel good.

That and I really like the fresh air and sunshine and birds and nature and stuff. That's part of the mood thing, too. I don't think I could go to the gym.

[(Anonymous)]

It might be the iron definciency actually, I've been on pills for that. But I'll see a doctor about it for sure. Thank you everyone for the advice!

[(Anonymous)]

Same here, only I at least know what my issue is (I have CFS. Endorphins aren't enough to overcome the feeling of super exhaustedness my body's in. Basically all I'm good for after exercise is sleep. >.>)

Oh jeez, so I definitely get the endorphin rush thing and it's basically the best, most fulfilling experience ever for me, but even that isn't enough to motivate myself to drag myself off the couch most days.

It basically makes me the worst workout buddy ever because when you first ask me to go to the gym, it'll be more, "fuck off and let me spend the next six hours watching tv and not moving" and I'll kill all your motivation but then after a run or whatever you'll be dying and I'll be jumping around, irritatingly peppy, WHOOO LET'S GO RUN ANOTHER FIVE MILES I FEEL GREAT!!! and you'll want to trip me.

People who enthusiastically stick to strict workout schedules and completely healthy diets scare me.

[(Anonymous)]

hahah oh my god you just described me

i mean i do manage to drag myself off the couch most days because otherwise i'm a grumpy bastard. but i'm still definitely not a "gym person".

gym people are scary. you know, the really intense ones who have like a cardio-measuring-thing on their arm(cardometer?) and go on kale-lemon-juice cleanses.

i just like being outside tbh.

[making_excuses]

Yeah I know what you feel, I don't want to exercise, but the second you get me off my arse and into a gym or outside to do sports I will be enthusiastic and have a lot of fun, but I don't really get the endorphin rush tho.

...but I can promise you I am more annoying, I always feel like going jogging or doing a lot of stuff after a night out drinking. Which means everyone around me are sitting around just wanting to do nothing and I am all excited and saying we should just clean everything and then go for a jog and afterwards we can always do some more stuff.

I think one of my friends actually wanted to kill me (if he could get out of bed) when I sent him a snapchat at 9 in the morning from my run and he was hungover last weekend.

And as a random add on, this reminds me I need to start exercising more regularly soon, but snow... We do have a free gym thingy at my Uni so I should use that and find a friend to drag with me.

For some of us, exercise does legitimately feel good though. I get that that's not the case for everyone. A lot of people really need to push themselves. But I'm not exaggerating or starving or trying to motivate myself when I say I love exercise. I get that huge endorphin rush from it, and I love it.
