But why does excersize have to suck so much.

Like if I wanted my muscles to hurt I could just slap em with a belt or if I wanted to gasp for breath... I could also use a belt.

Like I have "slow-twitch" muscles which means I'm better running I guess, but then Jesus fuck that hurts my knees and feet, which I could probably use a belt to cause pain to as well.

Yeah I hate almost any and all forms of exercise. I picked up running back in March because people say exercise improves your mental health.

No it fucking doesn't. I'm still doing it every few days and it does not at all improve my mental health. Also running fucking sucks. People who enjoy it are psychopaths.

Figured I'd keep at it for now though. I don't run super far or fast. I run a bit over 3 miles every few days. It still sucks every time.

Running sucks ass, but cycling is fun. You just need to find something you enjoy

Cycling and swimming as well sucks less than both. Significantly better for your joints and exercises pretty much all muscles. Downside is that not everyone has access to a pool regularly.

Seconded. Cycling is the only form of exercise I can motivate myself to do. Without cycling I'd probably be dead already.

Nah cycling still sucks. Like I said, most forms of exercise suck ass. Y'all are just crazy.
