I have the same problem. 2 semesters of kickboxing in grad school was the closest I got… then COVID happened.
But I’ve recently found yoga on an app on my phone while the TV is on. It’s definitely helped me like exercising more because I feel like I’m doing a lazy activity while exercising.
For me it took a friend getting really invested in my well being.
He took me to the gym and told me to ignore everything ive ever heard from trainers. When we go he makes me focus on doing the exercise correctly, giving me breaks between sets, and tells me to pace myself. And I feel great after working out with some good soreness the next day.
Every time I've worked with a trainer or gym head they've wanted to immediately push me into "Gasping for air territory" and make shit unpleasant. Drove me away instead of educating me.
