DH thinks I'm nuts because I love working out and go to the gym twice a day. He thinks I'm crazy because I love to run. He thinks that people only go to the gym because they feel like they have to. I really feel like people (like me) enjoying going and find it fun.
So help me with this- do you actually like working out? Or do you only excercise because you feel like you have to?

Re: Do you like to workout?
I take Zumba, which I love and find it soo fun so I look forward to doing it. Doing the treadmill and everything else, I'm like ugh. But it gets me out of the house for a little bit and I'm able to de-stress.

Re: Do you like to workout?
I enjoy working out as long as I can do it at a time I like, which totally is not possible right now. I prefer to go around 9am, but that's when I need to be at work. So then it's either get up at 6am to go or go right after my commute and in both cases I'm too tired.

Re: Do you like to workout?
I pretty much loathe working out... and absolutely hate the gym... once I get into a groove tho, I will stick with it for a while. i will admit, as much as i hate it, after I do feel good. NOW... I used to love kickboxing (like the real deal not cardio kickboxing) and I finally joined a place last week.... that I enjoy doing and feel awesome during and after! I would stay i love it cause its still exercise, but i do enjoy it!

Re: Do you like to workout?
I love it.
It's like therapy for me.
I do have my 'off' days where I dread the gym, but I'd say 95% of the time I do look forward to working out.

Re: Do you like to workout?
Yeah for sure. I have been athletic my whole life. I played soccer from age four til I graduated hs. Freakin 14 years! Starting varsity freshman year, captain senior year and all. When I was little through ms I played softball, volleyball, and basketball on my local CYO team. As an adult I really prefer sports more than just working out at the gym- a lot. Bikram (hot) yoga has changed my life. I also love going out and kicking a soccer ball around with DH and his buddies. It's easier for me to go to the batting cage, to shoot some hoops, etc. than want to go run or do weights at the gym. When I'm there I really enjoy the running, but it's hard to motivate to get there. I think it has a lot to do with how you grow up. If you're really athletic as a child I find it easier to stay active/athletic as an adult. Or at least that's what I've noticed among my groups of friends. The sporty ones when we were young are still athletic. The ones that were NEVER into sports, still aren't. Lol. Janis (littleJ) I promise you, you don't need to be in any kind of shape to try hot yoga. There are women in my class (one I became friends with) who were over 200 lbs to start, and have lost 50 lbs with bikram. It really comes down to if you like/can handle the heat or not I think.

Re: Do you like to workout?
Yes, especially now since I'm trying to maintain all the hard work I put in before the wedding! I don't think I change much in size or weight if I'm working out or not but I have a more muscular physique and feel better when I'm working out at least 3-4 times a week.

Re: Do you like to workout?
Not at all...not like running or weight training or stretching or anything...I do like to dance, and I was ripped when I belly danced on a regular basis, but I haven't in a long time, and got so disgusting that I really should get back in to it, but I just can't seem to get in the right frame of mind, even though I'm popping buttons left and right on my pants

Re: Do you like to workout?
I really do enjoy it the only prob is if I dont do it every day (which I havent since the wedding) I have a very hard time making myself get back into it. So right now I am still in my lazy mode whining...'I dont wanna get up @ 5am to go work out' but I have that voice in the back of my head also saying...'Idiot, you enjoy this, get off that ever expanding hiney & get to it!'
Its a vicious cycle!
