Duh, I'm sure heaps of people hate exercise, but I wanted to know if anyone out there is as odd as me.
I don't need to exercise for weight reasons, but don't go out of my way to exercise. I much prefer 'incidental' exercise - walking around the city heaps, playing my musical instrument (which is hard muscle work!). I've also done yoga in the past but can't afford it at present.
But recently, I decided that being sedentary isn't so good, especially as I have depression (which makes me want to be inside and curled up!), so I'm really trying to go out of my way to bike ride for half an hour 2-3 times a week. Plus, spending a lot of time writing and researching on the computer means I have to spend a lot of time sitting, as the things I work on are important to me.
When I'm active and commuting a lot, I do get fit really quickly, but unless it's part of what needs to be done in a day, I won't exercise!
Any tips on how to break out of this thinking? Any suggestions welcomed!
