Sure, but gyms have extremely low stimulus and lifting weights really has no short term goal outside of the activity itself (compared to winning a basketball game, for example)
- bradford 9y agoThis seems like a rather defeatist attitude; the kind that keeps people away from the gym. I can assure you that once you commit to a regular exercise schedule, it is both highly stimulating and an end in itself.
- maxxxxx 9y agoIt's certainly important to pick something you like. For example, I hate running on treadmills
- Analemma_ 9y agoIf you hate it, then you hate it, although there are things you can try to make it better. I used to hate running on treadmills, until I found that I don't mind it if I listen to techno music with a tempo matching my gait. The funny thing about this is, I can't stand techno at any other time. I think one of the keys to exercising regularly is finding "lifehacks" like this that reduce the misery.
