People who say that exercise is "too boring": my prejudice is to guess is they spend a lot of time watching tv or scrolling social media or watching paint dry... Things I would find too boring. I'm wrong, right? Tell me about how you find exercise "too boring" and what purposeful or constructive activities you are doing instead with the same time you could have exercised.

Or maybe "too boring" actually means "too tiring and I need brain dead time instead" (xx) which I could completely understand needing. But too tiring is not what some posters say. They specifically say "boring."

(xx) or some other thing that doesn't mean too boring but people choose the wrong words.

It's repetitive and you need to do it often. I enjoy exercise but it's not exactly the must varied activity.

I try not to "guess" what people like doing and then judge them for it based on their use of one word.

I exercise 3 times a week and I hate it and find it boring. I have tried loads of different types to see what I like and the upshot is nothing. To me it is on a par with washing up. Boring but needs to be done.
