As the title title says, I love the rush that I get after a workout session. However, I am struggling with finding a routine thay I can maintain and also enjoy at the same time.
For context, I used to be on a dance team in highschool and walked the family dog daily. Then during the pandemic, I transitioned to Pamela Rief vidoes and the gym. That was the best I'd ever looked.
Then I moved away for college. And have had major weight gain due to hormonal birth control and a major mental breakdown that left me in the ER ( went from about 130 lbs to 165 lbs in under a year).
The main issue now is that I literally hate excercise. I hate going to the gym. It feels like a humiliation ritual and no matter how much I push myself to go, I cant get over the gym anxiety. I also cant workout at home because my bedroom doesnt have enough room to move around, I have roomates and live in apartment.
And I have so many ailments , it just makes working out hard and painful sometimes. Scoliosis and a hip ipingment means I can't really do the intense workouts I used to do because they causes pain flare ups. And cardio just makes my asthma worse and I dont want to deal that.
I am considering joining the group excercise classses on my campus about twice a week. And I have already planned on walking between classes ( about 20-30 minutes) instead of taking the bus.
I dont want to lose a ton of weight because I just can't afford to keep buying new clothes. I just want to lose about 15 pounds and then maintain the new wieght.
15 pounds doesnt seem like a lot for me to lose, it's just trying to figure out a lifestyle change that I'll be able to maintain in the long run. How do you guys get your excercise in? What would you reccomend for someone who just really is not a fan of the gym and working out ?
