Does your ADHD interfere with having consistency in sports? (lemmy.world)

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...

I used Beeminder and it really helped with keeping me going to the gym.

Unfortunately, the gym canceled the contract with my company fitness provider. So that's that and I'm now procrastinating on finding a new gym.

But I really recommend finding tools to keep yourself accountable especially on recurring tasks like gym visits.
