    I use an app called Cardio Trainer and it's actually really motivating. It uses a GPS signal to track how far I've walked. I just plug my headphones in, listen to music and walk away. It might make if less boring that way? Of course there's other apps that do the same.

    I know. I've lived out in the country all alone, and now I'm in the inner city. But I remember walking or riding my bike down miles of country road at sunset alongside the corn fields with amish buggies trotting by and it was just...breath taking.

    Maybe some audio books would help pass the time walking...

    Take up photography as a hobby. Gives you a great excuse to walk a lot and to appreciate the same old scenery under different lighting conditions, to compose interesting shots, etc.

    Riding a bicycle is great exercise. Of course, you have to have a bicycle, but in some areas you can rent one, if you don't want to buy one.

    Try podcasts. There's bound to be a topic you're interested in. It's like Talk radio tailored to you without a billion commercials for Lipitor or some other stupid crap.

    I can only do low-impact cardio at the moment. In addition to walking, when I go to the gym I use the bicycle, stairclimber, or sometimes the elliptical.
