I hate cardio! How can I make it more interesting?!
Question:
I've got 20 more lbs to go! I've lost 50 through mostly weight lifting and diet changes. I want to add cardio but I find it so incredibly boring that I don't stick with it. I've gotten a dog, added music, and tried getting a buddy (he dropped out on me the slacker) Any other ideas to make cardio more fun? Or at least tolerable?
Answers:
A cardio group is a lot more fun. Not only is it nice to have someone who has the same weight goals or ideas, but also they encourage you to keep going. Turn up the music and tell yourself that no matter how boring cardio is keep going til you reach your goal.

Try the Cardio program Bill Phillips suggests in his book Body For Life. 20 minutes of high intensity interval cardio. Only three times a week. The sessions are short and intense.no time to get bored!

Try some roadwork. For example, go out for a job. Every 100 meters drop down and do several crunches and pushups. Try to incorporate some muscular endurance into your "cardio" workouts to keep them from getting stale. Have fun!
Dance! That's always fun, or try DDR (Dance Dance Revolution), an elptical? There are many options
