> I find strength training extremely boring and going to the gym annoying.

FWIW during the pandemic I bought a set of PowerBlocks [1] and a reasonably cheap folding bench, and I've never gone back to the gym.

I also do Myo reps for all my lifts except for the compound leg lifts: they're a lot faster to get through. The result is that most of my workouts are half an hour or less, 5-6 times a week, with no travel time.

As far as boring -- for one, between having a kid and working from home, that's about the only time I have to listen to podcasts or audiobooks. For two, I find the focus of having to push really hard to go to failure for a set requires a focus something like meditation. And there are so many different kinds of exercises you can do, I never really lose interest.

I would just like to add NÜOBELL as an alternative to the PowerBlock, as they're formed more like a regular dumbbell compared to the PowerBlock. Had mine for years, works just as good as on day one. Ultimately, doesn't really matter what your choice is as long as you're using them.

NÜOBELL is sold under the name SMRTFT[1] in the US, and as NÜOBELL in EU[2].
