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?

        I wish there was a style of climbing gym that was just traverses.

        Like, bouldering already gets to be weirder and more interesting than lead climbing. Why not take it all the way and do everything no higher than one meter of the ground?

            Yes, but those are also my favorite problems, thus wanting a gym that is focused on only those.

            Yeah, I imagine you'd have to build something like that on the edge of town, not one of those down town climbing gyms.

            Though since everything is short, you could maybe pick a building without the tall ceilings typically required by a gym, and have more floors.

      Bouldering is usually done very close to the ground. You don't have to go up more than ten feet if you don't want to. Bouldering takes it's name from climbing around on boulders, with the emphasis being more on lateral movement than vertical movement.
