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?
do you have ADHD? literally same, i don't get enough stimulation during most gym-workouts even if I listen to music or something. I'm still trying to figure out how to manage a routine that I don't wander away from in between sets.
Sports have worked best for me historically, but finding one that can be done alone is hard
Possibly, undiagnosed beyond those quizzes that 9/10 times say you've got it. Can't afford to see a professional, so it's not happening anytime soon. Closest thing to an effective routine I've had in the past was having someone coach me directly with classes or bootcamp style sessions. I think I respond better to instructions than being left to my own devices, and the former usually expects high performance. It may be the sole way out I have.
