    Plug earbuds into your phone and watch fun stuff on youtube or amazon video while working out.

    I always do the elliptical, it burns a lot of calories and you can sit your phone to watch a movie or YouTube videos. Whats key is to not look at the time remaining but to look at your calories burned to stay motivated

    I like taking my bike on scenic roads with little traffic.

    if you are inside - put an audiobook on while on the treadmill/elliptical etc - helps me get through long runs

    Try classes and see what you like. I find that whenever i'm listening to good music, I'm having fun--walking, hiking, dancing (dont recommend biking with earphones on the road though). I like zumba but I also take another dance class that is more flow/ballet/jazz fusion.

    I have friends who listen to podcasts, etc, too while working out.

    We have a treadmill at home, gosh it is boring, but sometimes if I need to get some steps in and move my body I'll hoard my fave shows (usually watch only 1 hour a week or so anyway) for that.

    walking/hiking with friends is fun. in the summer we kayak and paddle board. Until injuries I did rock climbing too. Not your typical cardio but i definitely got in shape--the climbing, but mostly the carrying 30 lbs of rope and cams and assorted stuff to the bottom of the route. We made up for it with beer later :).
