Title: Anyone with ADHD struggle with boring workouts?

I can’t stick to long routines at all.
Short, fast sessions like running, skipping or quick HIIT seem to work way better for me.
Does anyone else feel more focused and energised when they move more, or is it just me?

This thread is weird.

The first post sounded like an ask for tips/sharing/commiseration - but now the replies sound like an junior AI couch.

Stop using AI to answer posts, it's obvious.

I'm not using AI, just providing a supportive reply from my side.

I think having a lifestyle that enables you to be on your feet a lot, perhaps walking a lot day to day or doing an active job, can be important for wellbeing with ADHD.
It allows you to let off your natural urge to be active outside of intentional exercise.

I agree with you
