I want to look more like this person. At the moment I am much larger and need to get skinny. I already diet and I keep myself to a strict maximum of 1500 calories a day. The problem I need to get over now is that I don't move very much. I already lived a very sedentary lifestyle but now because of Covid I have even less reason to ever get out and walk around. I've been trying to get into running as a way to make myself more active but I hate it with a burning passion. I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions for how to enjoy running instead of hating every moment.

Running is a physically intensive exercise that is going to elevate your heart rate and be uncomfortable. You need to embrace that uncomfortable feeling and learn to like it. If you can't do that then go on really long walks like an hour a day. I enjoy hiking in the wilderness and exploring my neighborhood.

Try a running program for beginners like c25k. Something ez that doesn't frustrate you too much.
And look into how to build habits, you can add positive reinforcements/make the activity easier and other bad choices harder… Try listening to a badass playlist or (if ur on a treadmill) watching a new series.
When you run your body releases endorphins/dopamine and prolly you'll notice this effect eventually, this will help you to stick to it. In my case it has made me crave running on rest days.

Whilst I really like >>150787, you're missing an important point: A lot of people who run don't enjoy it. I have always hated running and always will, but there are times when I "have" to.
Ultimately it comes down to you choosing what's more important to you.

Hey, I totally get it. Exercise can feel like a drag sometimes. Start slow and experiment with different activities until you find something you genuinely enjoy. Maybe try group classes, outdoor workouts, or even just walking in nature. If calisthenics pique your interest, check out this 30-day plan: https://betterme.world/articles/30-day-calisthenics-workout-plan/ . No pressure, just find what works for you!

To be honest, I don't know for sure. I just often went for a run and only with time I came to love it. Now I can't run because of an injury. But thanks to https://betterme.world/articles/walking-2-miles-a-day/ , I started to walk a lot regularly. It helps my back to not hurt and also to keep in shape a bit
