Like exercise. It's hard, unpleasant while you do it, exhausting, and ultimately pointless. That's not an argument against either exercise or learning though.
(Oh, and it feels great afterwards.)

I.e. why does it even have to require input from my side? You don't have to train your peristaltics, why are other muscles different? I guess it just boils to a mutation 100 thousands years ago which decreased default muscle power to save on energy, we could roll that back, get extra colories burned as a bonus.
Animals don't work out. They also don't push the envelope every day.
Evolution and life is primarily an optimization game. And our bodies are product of that. When we do things, we tend to become better at them. When we don't do things, we tend to lose our ability to do them well, hopefully in lieu of new focuses. Even the brain works this way - as becomes readily apparent when you age and can see in your acquaintances who continues to work with their brain, and who instead spends their time watching television and imbibing.
But I'm nitpicking.
No wonder you don't enjoy exercising if you frame it as 'ultimately pointless'. You need to change your internal dialogue.
> If exercising were truly at the top most enjoyable things for everyone then we would not have an obesity crisis.
Exercising itself has little to do with obesity. It all comes down to eating healthy and restricting your caloric intake.
Healthy food is cheap af when you prepare it yourself and don't buy into every trend. You don't even have to exercise if you don't want to but obviously it's good for your overall health and mind.
It's a process you need to work at, but it will enrich your life in so many ways if you can get past that tricky mental hurdle. I truly hope you do!
Mine can keep up with me on a bike so on foot I constantly throw sticks to him and make him swim while I run in the opposite direction.
Also, maybe try THC I hear it brings on the runners high immediately.
Once you have at least some ability practice amd exercise isnt nearly so bad befcause it doesn’t feel like a waste of time.
