I need ideas for exercise.

What are your goals?

For reals.

Yoga? Weight training? Walking?

Maybe look into getting some kind of pedometer? Might keep ya motivated!
There's also fitness dvds you could do in your home, like Leslie Sansone or Jillian Micheals.

I get bored of exercise too, but find listening to music helps, whilst often singing along.
Make a playlist of upbeat songs that'll get you going whilst running or doing exercises and only stop once the playlist's finished

Also - start making exercise worthy changes. Little steps. Don't grab the closest parking space. Makes your mind in the healthy zone.

I am a huge fan of Leslie Sansones walking at home programs.
When I was walking the rails to trails outside I would remember moves she showed me and added those when no one was around. :-)

I am also a fan of checking things off - so making a chart helps if you are the weight lifting type.

Getting new equipment makes me happy too. If $ is an option - the store Five Below has a nice fitness aisle with little fun things.

I am sure there are a lot of great YouTube videos out there to do online programs. Perhaps grab a kettle ball and start a kettle ball routine.

Our local YMCA has unicycle classes. I bet those would be interesting exercise and not boring.

My mom always tells me that walking with me is so much faster and less boring than alone. If you get bored - grab a friend. Helps pass the time.

Swimming? Not sure where you live but anyone have an indoor pool? Get some laps in. Use all the fun floating things to up your workout.

Nature hike. Get the hills and outdoors going for you.
Spend two hours out in the snow with a shovel or rolling massive snowballs and you will burn some calories! I had some nice workouts clearing my driveway this week. My scale loved it. Exercise with a point! Just be sure to keep the chest warm and blood flowing. Restricted blood vessels and straining is where people even healthy people can have heart attacks shoveling snow.

Have you ever tried kayaking?! Our local state park rents them by hour and it is awesome!!!!! They are cheap to own if you have a way to cart em around. $200 and you have years of exercise fun possibilities. That is defiantly a fun day if you have the $ to splurge ($10 an hour)
Get some friends and laugh your butts off at each other as you enjoy the lake!

Hope something helps.

Many people hear the word "exercise" and they immediately think of going to a gym to do cardio or lift weights. The world is full of exercises that have nothing to do with going to a gym. Take a bike ride, hike along a trail, work in the garden, play basketball, go for a swim, climb trees, dance, jump rope...all exercises and just the tip of the iceberg. Finding something you enjoy doing while also gaining better fitness is a double win.
