> It's painful, it's unbelievably boring, after using it I'm exhausted and have to take a shower. I cannot listen to podcasts or watch TV shows to fight the boredom because the experience is too intense to fully focus on something else.

This is basically me for all repetitive maintenance activities including exercise. I could not imagine having a job where I needed an ironed shirt every day. I don't think I could ever bring myself to exercise all that seriously either for similar reasons.

I actually love menial tasks like doing dishes, laundry, cleaning etc., because I can just listen to podcasts or audiobooks that I really find entertaining. With exercise, that's not possible, I cannot focus on it.

It's actively boring.
