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.

    Machines are terrible! Take your workouts outside!
