All of us hate exercising and doing cardio, although it certainly helps when trying to lose weight in addition to watching what you eat. One of the biggest things that I have found that works really well is interval training, which might be my big secret J
If you typically do 30 minutes of cardio, and find it gets kind of boring, switch it up by doing some interval training. This works really well if you train by running, biking, or with an elliptical. Go as hard as you can (or if you’re just starting out, about 80%) for 20-30 seconds, then recover for 2 minutes or so and do it again. This not only breaks up a 30 minute cardio workout (I find that time passes by much quicker), but also keeps changing your heart rate. I don’t typically do a full 30 minutes of interval training (15-20 minutes will do), but it’s a good way to burn a few extra calories and change things up with a workout.
