What do you enjoy about exercise

[iwantsunshine1]

I haven't exercised in years (bar walking) but I need to start and get healthy. As I don't enjoy it I find it such a chore and lack motivation. I have 2 young children so if I get time to myself I normally just want to relax and watch Netflix. What do you enjoy about exercise? How do you motivate yourself?

I honestly don’t think of what I do as exercise. I know me, and I wouldn’t do it if I hated it- hats off to anyone who can make themselves go to the gym or do a workout despite not wanting to. It’s not much use to you with your current restrictions OP, but I do Zumba and play netball, and a couple of easy racquet sports. It’s really fun and I look forward to it. I used to love running, but my hip’s fucked now so I can’t do that anymore. For me, it was totally about finding something I liked doing.
