How Can I Make Strength Training Fun? [Forum]
Wednesday, April 28, 2010 11:11I’m a 25 year old female, about 15 pounds overweight. I want to get fit and lean. I like walking, and I’m thinking of getting a bicycle. I know I should also do some sort of resistance training. Everywhere I read about the benefits of strength training… the problem is, I really don’t enjoy lifting weights. I can stick to a routine for a couple of weeks maybe, but I soon end up quitting. Counting reps, concentrating on the exercises… it’s very tedious to me. I’ve tried bodyweight exercise, it’s the same. I just find squats, push ups, etc, to be incredible boring.
Is there any sport or exercise that’s effective at toning and increasing lean mass, but it’s also fun? Like rock climbing, some sort of martial art, pilates, something? I’ve been looking into kettlebells but those also look like they’d be quite boring after a while. Any suggestions?
