    Find the type of cardio you enjoy doing and do it.

    I love running outdoors, really love the runner's high from it. I play Soccer and swim as alternatives to running inside or on the treadmill too much in the Winter.

    I get through the indoor track and treadmill with music.. very anxious for the nice weather to get here.

    Find something you like. When I used to go to the gym, I loathed walking on the treadmill and doing the elliptical. Holy christ almighty it was BORING BORING BORINGGGG. I struggled do do even one mile (and I'm like a snail so it was a 17 minute mile). Omg I hated it, I couldn't wait to get to the weights.

    But now that I work out exclusively at home, I only do cardio. I dance and do cardio boxing. It's fun, I love it.

    Well the weather is breaking... and I just bought a bike. So I will be doing a lot of bike riding this summer for CARDIO. I'm not a big fan of cardio because I have a short attention span and the treadmill is the most boring thing ever.


    BUT DANCING is another thing you can do.... that's fun and you can get an hour worth of cardio in and not even know it... because you are enjoying yourself.

    So, just pick fun things to do. I just learned that walking and all the stuff at the gym isn't our only source to perform proper cardio. Bike riding, dancing, rock climbing (fun), swimming, etc.

    Hope I helped.... I'm a newbie too and trying to learn everything.

    Really, no one has mentioned yoga or pilates? (Forgot to search for Zumba). Just find something you like. Cardio isn't only elliptical/ treadmill/ stairclimber. Or take up biking, or rollerblading, or roller derby, or tae bo. You can't MAKE something fun/ enjoyable, so just keep searching!

    My specific suggestion is Cassey Ho/ Blogilates. She is on YT, totally free :) She is motivational, inspirational, and just dern cute.
