I hate exercise

I do. I hate it. I know there are some people that love exercising, but I am not one of them. The 40 minutes I force myself to walk the treadmill are the longest, most excruciating 40 minutes of my life. I've never been a physical kind of girl - I never did sports as a child, never worked out, etc. So someone please tell me the secret to loving exercise because at this point I am NOT getting it!

I'm all for a major physical challenge to get myself motivated. I did the Breast cancer 3-day a couple of years ago... I walked 60 miles in 3 days (imagine spending your entire work day walking for 3 days in a row) It was so awesome - such a great accomplishment. I want to do something like this again. It forces you to train!!! Also, I think walking outside with a friend is much more fun than a treadmill. Or riding a bike... Do what you enjoy - there must be something. Bounce on the trampoline or ride bikes with your kids. Have you tried Pilates or Spinning? Also, reward yourself for good behavior - like a trip to the Spa or something that would motivate you. Accountability is helpful too... HTH (yeah, I'm a freak)

Find a friend and walk outside. That makes it something to look forward to... visiting, laughing, sweating and not even realizing the time spent is healthy and good for you. That's when I do my exercise the best! Good luck to you! Happy New Year!
