One of the things I hate about working out is that I get very bored very fast. I'm very ADHD and I have a lot of trouble focusing on things I don't find 100% fully captivating. Right now, I'm trying a thing where I'm doing a couple of things at once-- I'm listening to an Audiobook while I play Oblivion, but every time I kill a monster I stop the game and do 10 reps.
So for instance, I just did a short dungeon and killed 8 monsters, so I stopped and did 20 crunches, 10 reverse crunches, 3 sets of assorted dumbbell reps, and I held two stretches for ten seconds on each side.
I've never tried this before but this seems to be a good way to hack my brain. Every time I switch from my game to my workout and back, that little dopamine bell in my brain dings and I get a tiny surge of excitement because I completed a task and I'm doing something new now.
I'm sure this isn't the most efficient way to burn calories. But idgaf this seems to be working for me today
