Is it normal to hate exercise?
Mostly.Normal for most people
Yes, it’s normal to hate exercise, especially if it feels boring, uncomfortable, or like a chore. You don’t have to love workouts to find movement that works for you.
Plenty of people dislike exercise. Maybe you hate sweating, gyms, running, or the whole “push yourself” vibe. That doesn’t mean you’re lazy or broken; it may just mean the usual idea of a workout isn’t your thing.
If you want to be more active, try thinking beyond formal exercise: walking somewhere pleasant, dancing, gardening, or playing a sport can all count as movement. And if none of it sparks joy, you’re allowed to be less enthusiastic than the workout-inspirational-poster crowd.
