I have not lifted in months because I hate it. I have always hated it. I hate the entire process. It's boring, it's tedious, it is a pain in the butt, and I feel sore and painful the next day. I have worked with personal trainers and both times it started out where I was going to make myself do it and slowly dwindled away until I quit all together. My question is, how many of you hate lifting and are committed to it anyway, and what advice do you have to make it less miserable?

I've mixed weightlifting into my karate training and found it helps a lot with explosiveness and balance, especially in stances. I try not to go too heavy so I stay fast and flexible. If you're looking at tracking progress or getting extra support with recovery, www.zionova.is has been useful—some cool stuff there for measuring body performance and recovery that works well alongside martial arts training.
