Does anyone have any ideas on how to beat boredom when doing cardio?

    I watch movies that I LOVE on my phone through netflix (otherwise after ten minutes I'm like, ENOUGH OF THIS CRAP), but if I'm outside I only need music to listen too because scenery changes.

    Isn't that what iPods were made for?

    Listen to music; listen to Audio books; watch TV; sing to yourself; listen to learn a foreign language; work-out with a buddy; run/walk your pet..... No intention of sarcasm, do you need more ideas?

    It is hard for me to stay motivated for a full hour. I do fine when hiking outside, but have trouble when on a machine that long

    I get bored if I do a machine cardio exercise for more than 15 minutes so I break it down to 10 minutes between lifts and cardio (a great playlist helps). 10 min on tred, (lift)10 on elliptical,(lift) 10 on bike.
