I would say that I am someone who doesn’t really enjoy exercise but that’s not entirely true.
I hated PE days at school, I was pretty hopeless at most traditional school sports and almost every lesson knocked my self-esteem just that bit more.
But actually, I do enjoy exercise in some cases. I do enjoy walking my dog, I do enjoy certain YouTube workouts, I enjoy swimming, dancing around my house, and silly tennis (it’s tennis without being too serious – not an official sport)…
I don’t think I’m alone in having this old belief that exercise is not fun. So today I want to share a couple of EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) ideas and give you a hypnosis download recommendation.

You’ll never pay more and I absolutely love this particular company and have been personally using them for years.
EFT to enjoy exercise
I want to give you two ideas here. I’ve added a script for you to follow but I also want you to be able to create your own freestyle script that is very personal to you as this will really help you the most to clear old and limiting beliefs.
If you’re new to EFT please read my guide EFT – Emotional Freedom Techniques – How to Tap
Before you start tapping, have a drink, ideally water, and just move your body a bit. Give your arms and legs a bit of a shake and take a few nice deep breaths in and slowly release.
Breathe in positive energy, and breathe out any stress and energy blocks.
Freestyle EFT to release old limiting beliefs
Your set-up – I’m tapping today to release any limiting beliefs about exercising, any beliefs from my past that stop me from enjoying exercise now.
Please repeat this set-up 3 times whilst tapping the side of your hand (Just below your little finger)
Your tapping points are…
- Top of the head
- 3rd eye – middle of the forehead
- Eyebrow (the thick point)
- Side of the eye
- Under the eye
- Under the nose
- Under the mouth
- Collarbone (Gentle use your fist and tap the bone at the base of your neck)
- Side of the thumb
- Side of the index finger
- Side of the middle finger
- Side of the ring finger
- Side of the little finger
This is a mix of classic EFT and Heart and Soul EFT. If you prefer one over the other that’s fine, just do what you prefer. Learn more about the EFT TAPPING POINTS.
How to freestyle tap
Freestyle tapping is my own name for this kind of tapping so don’t go Googling it. Here’s what you do.
Write down all the thoughts and memories that come up for you about exercise, go back to when you were little, when you were at school, exercise as an adult, or anything that has made you feel like you don’t enjoy exercise.
As long as it all makes sense to you, just write down anything that comes up for you.
Next what you’re going to do is simply read through your list and tap on each of those things that you wrote down and feel free to really expand on your notes. It’s kind of like telling a story and tapping at the same time.
Here’s an example.
- I felt so stupid standing on the school field whilst all the popular kids who were good at sports got picked for sports teams.
- I stood there smiling as if I was totally fine with it but inside I wanted to cry, I wanted to hide or be invisible.
- I wanted to be anywhere but there. I felt embarrassed, upset, useless, unliked…
Talking about the way you feel is really important as you tell these stories. If you can’t put these feelings into words, as you remember the events, you will get that feeling back a little (or a lot), tell the story as well as you can or say “This feeling.”
Just move to a new tapping point at each natural pause. There’s no set time where you need to change points.
Keep going until you’ve run out of things to talk about. All the time you are tapping and focusing on these memories, you will be releasing these old feelings, beliefs, memories…
This is super powerful – please take your time with this exercise.
EFT to enjoy exercise – Tapping script
Now, I want to give you a positive EFT script. This will help you to raise your vibrations and feel really positive about exercising.
I would encourage you to use this tapping script daily to help motivate you to exercise and to enjoy exercise.
- Top of the head – Exercising is so good for me
- Forehead – Exercising is good for my body
- Eyebrow (the thick point) – Exercising is good for my mind
- Side of the eye – I prioritize making time for exercise
- Under the eye – I enjoy exercising now
- Under the nose – Exercising is enjoyable for me now
- Under the mouth – I love finding ways to exercise in a way that I really enjoy
- Collarbone (Gentle use your fist and tap the bone at the base of your neck) – Exercising is something I really enjoy now
- Side of the thumb – I love exercising now
- Side of the index finger – I love exercising now
- Side of the middle finger – I love exercising now
- Side of the ring finger – I love exercising now
- Side of the little finger – I love exercising now
This is a lovely and very positive script. A little bonus tip is to get up and move around whilst tapping, this will really help get your energy flowing super freely. Enjoy.
Hypnosis downloads to enjoy exercise
I love hypnosis downloads. I tend to pop them on at bedtime and it’s fine to fall asleep whilst listening to them.
Check out the Personal Fitness hypnosis downloads – there are quite a few different downloads that are worth taking a look at such as…
- Exercise motivation
- Gym motivation
- Walk more
- Fitness class motivation
- Stop hating exercise
I’d also really encourage you to check out the Total Fitness Motivation pack.
Use these hypnosis downloads to change your mental attitude and determination – motivating you to enjoy exercise.

Change your mindset
I really hope you’ve found this enjoy exercise post helpful. You’ll now be able to clear your old energy around exercise with the first EFT session and then work on really building a positive mindset using the second EFT script and listening regularly to your hypnosis downloads.
I think we can all agree that exercising is really beneficial for us – It’s so much better if we can actually enjoy time spent exercising. When we enjoy something we are more likely to make it a regular part of our life.
