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?

    Not quite related but when I have no motivation to clean I set a timer for 5 minutes per room. It becomes a race for me to see if I can get it done in time. I might do something similar for exercise.

    Side note, I have a notification for daily tasks that notifies me every hour until I do it. It annoys me enough that I do it.

    Not everything works for everyone though.

      I do the timer thing, sort of! But I’ll do it in the form of multitasking. Say if I have a kettle on or coffee/tea brewing, I’ll see how much of the dishwasher I can unload in that time.

        I love that idea. My partner also does this. She likes to see how much of the kitchen she can clean when the kettle is boiling.
