    Complaint: I really hate strength work! I am 38 (almost 39) and ever since Jr High I have hated strength work. And yes, I’ve done it and seen the results! I had my best year in HS Track after getting hurt and spending all winter in the gym with the football players while rehabbing. Guess what, still hate it. I’ve been doing a very simple circuit workout to get some strength before my marathon. Lunges suck, and so do pushups. Please send help. Okay, that’s it, thanks for reading.

      Have you considered heavy weights/low reps using progressive overload? I find this much more satisfying as it feels more intentional and you can see the progress.
