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 like to read a book. if the books boring me the amount of time it takes me to get to a certain point (chapter or whatever) is how long im working out, if the book is good im working until my body complains because i want to keep reading

    either way im forcing myself to do something id not have the motivation for otherwise
