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?

This worked for me in my early twenties. Working as a farmhand put me in the best shape of my life. Working on a computer erased all of that though.
I’m in a similar boat. Do you ever find yourself thinking back to the labour days? If there wasn’t such a difference in pay, I might consider the switch. The only career that I know of that has pay parity is oil rig work, but I don’t want to fuck up my body before it’s time.
Absolutely. I’m a bit “battle-damaged” (chronic ankle pain from being hit by an SUV while riding a motorcycle) however, so, I am not sure that I could do the work anymore without breaking myself, even if there was pay parity.
There is no way really to meet the fitness level achieved by working 8 hour days hauling feed, cleaning pens, and moving chicken tractors. So, I try to frame it as a fond memory and “North Star” to aim towards.
