I totally don't.

One of my best friends is a tennis playing Estp made me work out for like over an hour today and I'm in so much PAIN.

everyone loves working out, loves the gym, blah blah. I hate it. People are gross & sweaty & its so physical and boring and its stressful and BLEH

is this just me?

I tried cross country and cheerleading and besides the fact I'm 100lbs with no muscle and no coordination, I feel like I'm so N I get BORED with the entire ORDEAL. I am speaking for just myself as an enfp.... but maybe I need more S... bc i can't do this everday to get "toned"

bc my friend says if I dont get toned, despite being 100lbs I'll be flabby when Im thirty. It was a hurtful & stressful comment.

thank you for allowing to vent.

others opinions?

I can like game sports. Like team sports or any other sport where you need to think.But working out or exercise is hell on earth.


And don't let yourself be controlled by your friend in any way. Directly or indirectly.

tis not my boyfriend, its one of my best friends, she's a very bossy, very well-meaning athlete
but she's KILLING meeee. and part of my just really wants to be hot & toned lol
and the other part feels to guilty not to finish what i started. Cos I never finish anything.


but honestly... my legs are KILLING me from lunges and squats and a 3 mile run.

and WHO are these people who just LOVE the gym???

Oh lol, sorry that was a typo. I was thinking friend but I typed it wrong. I don't give a crap what my friends think about how I look or what I wear and I would advise you to do the same.


And for all my hate of working out, I have taken it upon myself before to go to the gym like 4 times a week. If you knew me you would think that is...well...unthinkable.

But, it's about finding the proper motivation and knowing it will make you healthier, not just looking better.

Exercising makes me feel good, but its so hard because I get bored so easily....however... the gym I work out at now has personal TVs and I can watch whatever the hell I want to when I do cardio and its awesome.

I get my ipod and get all catharsis-y

It did. But then I stopped :tongue: I'm thinking about it again though. It was actually 5 times a week at times. I'm kind of an all or nothing guy. If I thought of going to the gym 2 times a week I'd go one...and then keep postponing it till Friday...and then come up with an excuse to not go. It's psychological. It's about honing my P.

I love sport!

I really enjoy watching a range of sports and used to play a great many. Unfortunately I am lazy and haven't been very involved the last few years. I've tried running recently but I seriously lack the self-discipline to keep it up (believe me I really tried hard too).

I must say that training of any kind seems rather annoying to me. I just want to get out a play!

whats appealing, the combat & the art of the sport or the physical exertion of it all & the appeal of competition?

Yeah I did use the gym to fill up time. I dropped out of college so I gotta keep myself busy between jobs.

Male INFJs are angry megalomaniac creatures.

I hate sports, unless laughing while failing at tennis is a sport. I'm good at that one and surely get the exercise from chasing the ball :laugh:, but i haven't 'played' since high school.

However, i do love the gym. Stationary bikes... ellipticals... zumba classes. :wubbie: I certainly haven't gotten there enough, but it's a home away from home.
I understand people's hatred for it. I find it refreshing to ache after a good workout though.

The most important thing is to make sure you are having fun and that it's not a chore/torture session. Your friend just sounds like a fitness freak :)

If your goal is to keep fit, then there are many ways of doing cardio exercises without needing to push yourself to the limit. If you like dancing, there are lots of different classes you can join.

I enjoy going to the gym in a social sense since I have a number of friends who join the same classes, but I'm not there to pump myself up to look like a body-builder.

yes, if I must lose weight for bikini season, I want it to be fun

I may have to tell my fitness guru to back off... but she says this is the only way to do it lol

Because they are really misunderstood and no one takes them seriously so they must learn to kick people's ass if need be. Unless they are gay. Then they are chill. Kinda.

You shouldn't though. See, you are taking me seriously when I was just joking. Now imagine a INFJ with their deluded sense of reality and the outlandish jokes (they aren't quite capable of actual jokes but that is a story for another time...) they could come up with.
