You should really lift before you do cardio - unless you are just warming up! So once I do my 25-30 minutes of weights I do 45 minutes on the arc trainer and then 30 minutes on the stair stepper. When I notice that my calorie burn is going down I usually increase the resistance, or I use the treadmill on interval and get a good burn walking uphill. As far as getting bored, I read a book!0

Is there a spin class offered at your gym? I love spin class when I get a chance to go! If your gym offers classes, give them a try. They are usually pretty fun!0

There's lots of free programs you can find online. And yes you should lift before cardio to efficiently use your glycogen efficiently.0

I do a ten minute warm up on the treadmill if I run during my warm-up then my incline is at 1 or 2 if I walk my incline is at 8 or 9. Then I do ab activation with different kinds of ab workouts. After this I start my circuits. I usually do three circuits and in-between each circuit I run on a 1 or 2 incline with increasing intervals usually 4:30,and 5:00. Then I finish my workout with a 15 min run and stretching.0

The spinn instructor will help you with your bike etc. The classes are fun too. I used to do a lot of spinn before I quit the gym. Now I go to the thrift store and buy different dvd's and videos and am not bored at all.0

If your gym offers a "boot camp" you might want to give that a try it is always different and never boring.0

change it up, vary your workout - get some tabata rounds in there: 20 seconds on/10 seconds off for a total of 4 minutes at high intensity: sit ups, push ups, squats. Sounds easy? try it.0

also, check out this site: http://www.bodyrock.tv/ there is probably a lot that you can do if you have access to gym equipment, and she puts out a new workout each week. she's totally hardcore - i'm not there yet!0

Yoga can be a great workout and has many other benefits. I also love kettle bells. They are so fun and versatile.0
