Exercise is hitting. My brain gives up way before my body does. Even when I try and listen to music or watch shows while exercising, I just can't keep at it.

Has anyone found an ADHD friendly way to exercise?

Personally I hated team sports and things like going to the gym, but bouldering is really fun for me. It doesn't feel like it's forced or repetitive and you can choose what you want to do and it feels more live solving puzzles than sport. Am only a 5A+ so far but having fun.

What also helps is the atmosphere is very chill in the boulder gyms near me.

Great suggestion. I hate lifting weights, but bouldering is a ton of fun. Any sport sport that's physical is honestly a good idea. Doing something fun for exercise is like eating those limon hot Cheetos, you don't actually feel the burn until you stop.
