I think this belongs to /r/fitness more so than here.

Do something like boxing or cross fit! Mix it up and it will be more fun; plus stuff like that will build a lean body which women tend to like more anyway.

I recommend looking into two things. I started lifting for seduction type benefits and hated it. I gained 15 lbs of muscle in 2 months and it did wonders for my game. I did crossfit because workouts are really short and get you good results, though it's possible to do better other ways. Also, crossfit classes mean girls. Hot girls.

Second thing is look into something like Brazilian jiu jitsu. I started doing this and am getting pretty ripped. I don't consider it anything like lifting.

Try listening to a audio book instead of music while at the gym or on a run.

I don't think it is necessarily an AFC problem to not like exercise. The key is to find something you enjoy doing that has you moving about and using your muscles. So you don't like weights try something like swimming, or crossfit, or parcour, crossfit, the options are endless. Try a sport or a class as these have you being social. Finding a way to make exercise work for you is far more alpha than simply grunting up the willpower to suffer for an hour at the gym (and it works better as well).

I used to hate the split body routine and going in with no direction and making up workouts.

What made working out tolerable and eventually addicting and fun was Crossfit for me. Despite all the hate it gets around on Reddit - it showed me working out can be fun. Meeting all the like minded people doing it is great.

I don't find fitness fun either, especially when it's cold as hell outside or when I'm not feeling motivated. But I still try to go 3 times a week no matter what because what you do now sucks, but the benefit pays off at the end :D

Results. as long as YOU can see them, that's all that matters. Others will notice soon enough.

If you want an easier way to kick ass and get ass... then JUST DO IT

make a journal with how many reps you can make. Each time you visit the Gym, try to make a new record of reps. That way you'll always be excited for trying to set a new record each time. works or me.

Do you have a wireless gaming controller? Is it possible for you to prop up a table a few feet off of the floor for your mouse and keyboard? Good! Now get an exercise bike. Boom.

Find a podcast on a topic you enjoy and lift to that. Learning+Lifting makes both very enjoyable.

It may be a problem of just initially starting to work out. I've been going to the gym for almost six months now, and now that I am looking a lot better I have new motivation to keep going.

So I think once you start to see real results, and your body looking better, you will begin to like it. Additionally, I work out with one of my friends, so there is also a social interaction that I am finding enjoyable.

What is your diet like, are you getting enough sleep?

Are you on any antidepressants?
