No. Exercise SUCKS.

Then don't "exercise". At least not formal workouts.

One "life hack" for people who hate working out is simply to do more things manually.

Errands? Walk or bike.

Hungry? Prepare the meal from scratch.

Laundry? Try handwashing.

The idea is to move, and if possible, move enough to elevate your heartrate. Add resistance whenever possible.

Of course, this is the bare minimum you can do for yourself. Doing more will bring greater benefits, but anything is better than just sitting in a car, at a desk, in front of a TV.

And the more you do with consistency, the easier things get, and your body won't feel run down doing basic things.
