I, too, hate the idea of exercise. So much so that while I really like walking places, the idea of walking for exercise alone is a turn-off. Even when I know I enjoy it once I'm out.

So for me, I have to find motivation. I walk as a primary means of transportation, even to the grocery store.

I can keep up on short-length yoga stretches since I notice a difference in the way my body feels and I can find uses for flexibility. Since it isn't any more time than a shower, it isn't so bad.

And the same thing with arms: Do some pushups daily. Commit to this for about 5-6 weeks. It isn't much time per day, after all. Then see if you notice some differences. Maybe that case of water doesn't seem so heavy or you carry more in one spurt. Maybe a usually stubborn package is easier to open. And if there isn't a difference, don't worry so much so long as you've adequate strength. Or set a goal that will require the strength, like rock climbing, cave exploring, or so on.
