To elaborate; I literally cannot focus on a workout, particularly a cardio routine, for longer than 5 minutes or so. If the best possible wourkout for me were to do 20 minutes of rowing, running, or cycling, I will literally want to kill myself after five minutes. Typically it won't come to that, so I'll just half ass it, call it quits and take the walk of shame home, bothered, unmoisturized, unhappy, out of my lane, unfocused, languishing. This is not due to over-exertion or the overall difficulty of the exercise but I guess some kind of latent inability to focus on any task for longer than the bare minimum.
I guess the simple answer is "Just mix it up, doofus", but when I do that I end up just half-assing even more. What is to be done?
if it's safe to bike to something so that the purpose is going to the library or sit in a park or whatever then the exercise becomes incidental and you're not focusing on cardio you're just going somewhere and maybe it'll trick your brain
This is my trick. I don't necessarily hike/bike because I love to do it - it's because I have to fool my stupid attention deficit brain into going with the program for a sustained period of time.
