Fun Winter Cardio Ideas

Hello everyone! Just joined the group and started using MFP again. I wanted to know if you all have suggestions for fun cardio ideas. I'm not a runner, failed at using the Couch to 2k app, and its Bun Freezing Cold outside right now! I currently go to the gym (1-2 times a week) and swim laps, but I'd like to vary it up. I get really bored on treadmills at the gym (mostly because I can't control the TV programming). Was wondering if you all had any suggestions for fun little things I could do around the house so I can get my cardio in without freezing my buns off.

I. LOVE. MY. REBOUNDER. LOL. Seriously, I set it up in front of the television and just bounce away. I break a sweat after about 10 minutes. Also, if you have a stepper at home, that tones your thighs a bit and gives a decent cardio workout depending on how you do it.
You can burn a decent amount of calories. About the same amount as jogging. Check out these articles: http://www.livestrong.com/article/230472-calories-burned-rebounding/

You can try you tube. I tend to use it a lot. My favorites are Leslie Sansone for walking & Kendall Hogan for cardio. I use my kindle & get to sweating0

Thanks so much. I will definitely check those out! You are the official Rebounder endorser. It's getting a look now.
And I don't know why youtube never occurred to me. 0
