I hate being in the environment of the gym, way too many people and I hate working out but if I could do it, it would solve so many problems. permalink fedilink source parent [–] MisterHavoc@lemmy.world [S] 1 point 2 years ago I hate the gym too. But I need to exercise. So I joined a soccer training thing. So happy. permalink fedilink source parent [–] musicmind333@mastodon.social 1 point 2 years ago* (1 child) @Presi300 @MisterHavoc it's tough - I find that I dislike exercising just for the sake of exercising. Going on a bike ride or hike feels like exploring, seeing nice scenery. Playing sports is FUN, and the objective is to get the goal/do the thing, not make pain in body to make it healthier. For me the key was to find something I liked doing where being active was a side effect. (Like someone mentioned, gardening! I hadn't thought of that one) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] Presi300@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] musicmind333@mastodon.social 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) @Presi300 Yes!!! Especially ones with a view - slowly working your way to a waterfall or overlook is like finding a hidden secret in the woods. Even on repeat hikes, you get to see the seasons change etc. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] Presi300@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago* (last edited 1 year ago) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [–] EnderMB@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago Try a combat sport instead. I got bored of the gym, so I started BJJ. It's fun, and it basically gives me a skill I've learned. permalink fedilink source parent [–] schmorpel@slrpnk.net 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Get a garden instead. You get to workout, time outdoors for some vitamin d, and grow some food. Triple win. The light-, smell- and soundscape in most gyms is horrible. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] Presi300@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] schmorpel@slrpnk.net 1 point 2 years ago Even a small box can grow a surprising amount of veg. My bf set up a box of about 1 x 3 m, 60cm high, filled it with manure, branches, straw and other organic matter, and planted butternut squash, sweet potatoes, chili, sunflowers. It looked mad when it reached its prime, like some c movie garden tentacle monster. So far we got 25 butternut squash, endless chili, and we have eaten the first few sweet potatoes. It's on top of stone slabs, not even soil. Or a community garden, or guerilla gardening. Many things involving plants or animals are very rewarding and make one more happy. permalink fedilink source parent
