I have a Garmin watch that you can load with exercise programs in conjunction with it's phone app. The couch to 5k running program works well.

• It sets a schedule
• It tells you what to do for that day
• Guides you during the run
• Records your progress
• Sets a clear goal you are working towards

Other than that I listen to audio books on my run.

I did swimming for a few years when I was living close to a big swim hall and passed right by it on my way home from work. It does require a bit of motivation to start, but for me when I first got into the water it felt natural to just keep moving. Swam for 30~40 min and then going to sauna for 15 min and a nice hot shower afterwards was such a reward for my brain it always felt worth it. Now I moved and is sad I don't live close to one. Also as got super tired afterwards but in a nice way. Felt good. I wasn't medicated back then let alone knowing anything about ADHD so in hindsight, with medication I might have better odds of feeling even better after a good swim.

In my youth it was rock climbing. You can’t really quit something if it means falling to your death 🤣

But seriously anything that keeps your brain occupied. For me it was competitive sports. Basketball, ultimate frisbee, anything like that. Now that I’m old, it’s getting up from my chair to go pee. I also like what I consider “exercise games” like Beat Saber.

Tl;dr… anything that tricks your brain into seeing it as fun and not exercise.

When the weather’s nice, I like biking. In terms of ADHD stuff, doing a thing that takes you out of your house on a loop effectively forces you to complete it. Like, if I go for a 2h ride and then decide I’m not into it half way through… I still have to keep going. But also, just being outside with varied scenery tends to make boredom much less of a problem.

When it’s hot, swimming. You can get into a really nice rhythm with it, and it’s a truly outstanding full-body workout. Also, once your endurance gets high enough, if you are doing long-distance sets, you will get fatigued, but you will also 100% be riding that endorphin high, which is kind of a fun sensation.

When it’s cold (like, New England cold, not CA cold), mostly just walks. And skiing.

I usually have to pair things up, like I rarely ride my bike just for the sake of it. Most of the time it's to get groceries, go shopping, etc. and sometimes the stores I go to are ~10km away. I'm really lucky that my city has actual factual cycling infrastructure though, so I pray your area has at least acceptable infrastructure.

This doesn't always work, sometimes I don't need anything. So another way I can get my butt on my bike is to simply put on sunscreen. Doing that makes it a lot easier for me to get out there so as not to waste the sunscreen. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I never go to the gym though. Way too complicated for me.

Swimming does wonders for me. You can think about tons of stuff while swimming, it exercises many muscles at the same time, easy to get the hang of it and tiring if you do it enough!

Books on "tape" or narrative podcasts are what finally let me spend enough time working out, I have to be really into the story though

Do it with a friend! It worked great for me: my friend and I both tend to get distracted easily but working out together helps us keep each other on track and also the workout goes by faster when you have someone to talk to. Also we motivate each other to push ourselves as well!

Find yourself a gym buddy, it might be what you need!

YouTube workouts go by quicker for me. I also have a rebounder (mini trampoline) which I find addictive enough to stick to. It also just takes a lot of practice to make a habit of exercising even if I don't feel up to it. It helps to start with short workouts on YouTube and work up to longer workouts over time.

Would Ultimate HIIT Workout for People Who Get Bored Easily - Fat Burning HIIT Cardio Workout hit the spot?--I mean, HIIT the spot?

Look into a thing called flow arts!
