      Zumba is really popular! I love Body Combat & think it's fun too, just that it might not be categorized under "fun" for some people...

      None, cardio is poo.

      Try lifting! :smile:

      Heh, I was going to say:

      Trail running
      Road cycling

      I'm having so much fun running trails this year I've barely been on my bike. My dog loves it too.

      I find running fun - though it did take a year for that to happen! Also really enjoyed P90X3 and insanity.

      Running hills is always a crowdpleaser

      You can always improvise at home. If you got stairs, use them. Also, try jump rope and many other cardio workouts that you can do in your room. Try finding what you like on YT, Fitnessblender for example, they're great :)

      I run and lift but I also love my weighted hula hoop. Walking, turning and squatting while hooping require coordination and concentration. 20 minutes and I'm done, but I like it and it does make my heart beat faster.

      Dancing and trail running for me. I've also found a spinning class where the instructor is awesome and thanks to him its a load of fun.

      Bicycling and making some new friends in the sport make it more fun

      Same with the gym

      Join a local triathlon club. Lots of people and training for running cycling and swimming.

      watch you're favourite movie or tv shows while on a cardio machine (treadmill, bike, elliptical), I see loads of people doing this with tablets in the gym nowadays.

      Spinning! So terrible when you start, but so fun after a few weeks when you start getting the hang of it! A good instructor with a fun playlist is key.

      Lots of options, but in the end it's up to you to figure out what is "fun".

      Some people think sweating it out in 90+ degrees on a bike is torture. I think it's fun.

      Kick Boxing or Krav Maga. The resistance of beating on something is so stress relieving and pushes me to the edge of my cardio tolerance like nothing else I've ever tried including Insanity. Plus your learning how to defend yourself at the same time. :smiley:

      for me personally all cardio sucks except for martial arts. Any will do, but all those other dancey things and cardio machines and aerobics class type things at gyms - zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

      With martial arts at least you are learning something new every day and building strength and becoming more in control of your body AND - you can kick butt if you ever need to :)

      Trail running, paddle boarding, rowing machine. That's what I do and it makes my heart happy.

      Skipping rope is fun
      Any kind of jumping

      Running! The Zombies, Run! app is what actually got me to the point where I didn't absolutely hate cardio. Outside only, though. Can't seem to stomach the dreadmill.
