I started doing cardio for a couple of months, 3 times a week (25 minutes a piece), it was annoying and i really didnt like but sure whatever i pushed through the boredom.
The REAL shit started when i actually worked out (we have workout machines in a nearby park), for almost 3 months im doing 20 minutes workout a day (5 times a week) and every. single. time. it feels like its getting more difficult to do than before.
I always heard stuff like "it gets better over time" or "your body just needs to get used to it"
but i dont feel anything like this, when im done i feel miserable thinking that i gotta do it again the next day, every single minute of workout i do feels so much longer than its actually is.
Im not silly(hopefully), i know how to workout probably, i made sure to look it up beforehand so as to not break my bones or something and the machines clearly describe with a manual printed ON them how to use them.
Is this it? is workout always gonna feel like shit? Am i just doing it wrong? Was the euphoria or adrenaline you are supposed to feel just a silly or or a thing i just dont get?
apologies is this is the wrong community i just dont feel like there is any else i wouldnt be like, laughed out of
What I mean by that isn't the length of time, rather the number of reps and intensity of your work out.
So I just do some basic power bands in the mornings. Usually I'll do 3 sets of 15 on each exercise. If I'm sore from the day before, maybe I'll only do 2 sets...or I'll do 3 sets of 10 reps...or if I'm really hurting...skip a day.
You said you're using the park stuff...so...for example...if I'm in a good mood, I'd try for 3 sets of 10-15 pull ups as one of my exercises. If I'm hurting that day, maybe I'll do 3 sets of 5.
I play hockey 1/week and do TKD 3/week. Both of those vary a lot depending on who I'm playing...or if the Master is in a bad mood. Thus, my daily work outs vary a lot due to that.
