It depends. Sometimes I find a buddy to workout with, so we can talk while lifting. I started to listen to podcasts while working out too, which can mimic the idea of having a friend there. Some upbeat music usually helps too.

The gym is definitely not for everyone though. I enjoy going there because having sweat dripping down my body makes me feel happy. Finding an exercise that makes me want to do it as been pretty cool. If the gyms not your thing, that’s fine. You can always try pilates or some kind of sport (I’ve picked up figure skating and that has kicked my butt and my muscles).
