30 days of blogging honesty ~Day 01 — Everyone does but I cant stand ..
The one thing that it seems like everyone else on the planet is into but I just cannot stand is…Exercise. The word brings me terror. I shiver at my knees when I think of having to do it
Everyday, i see so many people around me doing it. At 530 am, go to the park and you shall see people doing it. Afternoon, you can see people taking their rounds. At 400 pm, at 700 pm, at 1000 pm, you can see people straddling the exercise bars or jogging furiously, with an intense expression on their face. Go to any sports centre, the gym shall be bursting, Any time of the day. Ads on tvs. Sports shops. Sports competitions.Olympics.There is plenty of motivation to do it.
But I am not motivated at all. I feel weirdly out of place in this. I have been told by people before ‘go exercise, go go go” as I am overweight. I tried. But it fizzled out for me. i tried wearing ipods and listening to music when walking or exercising. It did not work. I tried to do exercise and dance. I slumped down in a while. I feel listless when i have to think of doing it.
I still dont know why I hate it so much. I love doing so many things. I love dancing. i lvoe singing. I love reading. which many people do also. But this is one thing done by 90 % of the world, which I cannot stand. It looks wonderful and fulfilling when you see other people doing it. But it becomes miserable when I have to do it.
I know exercise is beneficial and necessary for good health. We need to get rid of those calories we take in and cut out those extra pounds for the sake of our heart. If I do it, it is only owing to these considerations. Even then, I ask myself, do i wanna live that long? Let me freak out till the end. Rather than havign exercise as a companion in my life. I know this sounds awful but yeah, this is me.
I am an anti-exercise person.
i feel your pain. I need to exercise more too. I don’t think 90% of the world is exercising though maybe it feels that way because you don’t want to do it. I am glad you are a part of our 30 Days Terriblethinker.
Thanks Tom and I am really proud to be part of this too. Probably the reason why i think that way is where I am living now, exercise is a national pastime
So it is always in front of my eyes and hence I get psyched out 
I feel you TT. The gym…that is a name I dread.
I keep healthy by walking, eating when am hungry and drinking water.
It makes my body happy and that’s enough for me.
Cool. I am happy to hear such a balanced account from you. I think simple living is better to practice. I really need to get down to it..
But You did try to Exercise…But You Just gave Up….Why? Was it Hard work or Laziness…
You Just gave Up when The exercises started showing results.. If You don’t Believe I Suggest Start again…Just Try Walking….May be You will catch Up with Few real World Friends too other than the couch Potatoes On Twitter like Me…LoL!
Who Says Exercise is for being Fit? Its Has its own Pros…One such is the Time you give for Yourself…Just Try…. You will find more time for Yourself than the Blog/Twitter…Oops!!!
Anyway Thank You for Sharing the Things that Everyone Does….And You Cannot Stand…
Psst.. I was Pondering What It could be….LoL!!!
good i excited your imagination
yeah but you know, the sort of exercise i love doing is the one i do with my brain 
i can exercise very well from my mind 
~ physical exercise..i need to work that out slowly 
I love blogging and tweeting..no comparison of that to anything else
Hahaha, that was a brilliant confession. Yeah, there is a significant amount of toil needed to maintain that fitness so to speak. But fitness certainly is not the criterion that determines the length of one’s life. One could be absolutely *fit* and yet succumb to a heart attack or a nervous breakdown or any other ailment that would affect anybody else too otherwise. No doubt fitness does improve flexibility and improves one’s routine physical movements. But that does not determine the quality of life. Therefore, while I would not recommend to totally ignore or abandon physical activity, I would definitely emphasize that it is not a life line either.
If possible do, if not don’t. I am for that.
But I have a confession to make. I am a hypocrite at large
I am an ardent tennis player. I play squash and badminton of a decent level. I did play cricket at the university level and still run charity marathons 
:):)
You can now kill me!! Eh!
wow. i think more than hypocrisy, it is good to see that you are not imposing your views on others. However, do inspire others in a positive but not forcing down your throat, way. the only sports which i actually enjoy are swimming and badminton. having said that, i am still an exercise hater
I have to go to the gym, right now. I’ve been procrastinating by catching up on my blog reading. This posts reminds me to go.
I don’t enjoy it but I DO need to exercise for health purposes.
