    Lift heavier so that it feels brutal rather than boring :)

    This is the one!

    Also track your progress, I find it a great help to know what I did last time and focus on doing better (a little heavier, one more rep, or even just stronger reps) than the last time :)

    This.

    Can't say I ever feel bored with lifting. Try concentrating on your form, and the way the muscles feel in movement. In that way, your lifting becomes a mini-moving-meditation (a bit like walking meditation). Lifting makes me feel very peaceful (as does running, for the same reason) whereas cardio at gym, I'm just so bored I plug into the telly till it's over.

    Thanks everyone! I am lifting my max weight now. And believe it or not, after I posted this, I got a message from my boot camp instructor saying the challenge this week is a weight circuit. Now my motivation is to beat everyone's butts!
