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?
Have you tried a structured workout program like beachbody stuff? I found working along with people tends to help.
But really just about everyone that does some sort of cardio or whatever is doing a countdown in their head to completion... "1 minute passed, just gotta do that 20 more times, 2 minutes passed, do that 10 more times, etc.
