I’m currently being diagnosed for ADHD (i probably have it but i still need the confirmation from my therapist), and I was wondering if you have problems being consistent with physical activities.

I always start very confident and very excited, but after a couple of weekend the thing dies down.

Even if I force myself to pay and go to the gym, I often don’t reach the end of the subscription and quit.

This is also a problem with home exercises, running, hiking…

So far the only sport that kept me hooked, and I would consistently show up to practices for, was fencing. And sweet baby Jesus fencing is unexpectedly an insane workout for legs, stamina, and coordination.

Unfortunately, I lost all my gear to a flood and no longer live near any clubs.

I need to take a look into martial arts or the climbing gym nearby.
