    Yes it exists. It depends on what you see as being fun. I love Tae Bo. It's fun to me. I have other workouts that are fun to me.

    1. Kukuwa African Dance Workout
    2. Island Girl Dance Fitness Workout
    3. Core Rhythms

    I could list many more. I make my workouts fun.

    It depends what YOU like.

    For example, I like step aerobics but once it gets too choreographed (dancy), I feel like I might fall down and hurt myself.
    I like Spinning, but I spin twice a week and that's plenty.
    I like Kickboxing but every teacher teaches it differently, and if there is too much jumping, I'm out.

    Do you like Zumba?

    Cycling, Mountain or Road
    Swimming
    Hiking
    Rock Climbing (or any climbing really)
    Martial Arts
    Wrestling
    Water Polo
    Tag
    Soccer
    Dancing
    Skating
    Snow Shoeing
    Running that doesn't involve a treadmill
    Shopping, ok so I don't find it fun, but seems to wear me out more than anything listed above.

    I only DO fun cardio because the other kind is just torture. I know it's hard to swim in winter, but that's my favorite when it's warmer. Biking is also great. Having a walking buddy is good too.

    It's all a matter of personal preference of course, but for me Zumba is the most fun cardio I've ever done. Except hiking. It's hard to beat hiking, especially in the Fall when the weather is cool and the leaves are turning.

    Hiking or trail running is always funner than regular walking/running.

    Sports -- in particular team sports -- are my favorite form of exercise.

    try in a group. I prefer running alone when it gets old, I hit a class or too!

    Dance classes.

    I also enjoy hiking and doing interval runs/sprints, but not the same kind of "fun" as dancing. For me, there's nothing like that.

    People rave about Zumba! I do Insanity, it's more insane than fun, but I love it!

    Swing dancing!!!!!!!! It is SO much fun and works up a good ol' sweat. In a night of swing dancing you'll have to change your shirt a couple of times.

    Yes this is definitely fun, and no need for rythm, you'll pick it up as you go. So many different ways to work your body!

    Uh no.. Sports in my opinion are not fun... along with running.... Can't stand that either.

    To OP:
    Fun cardio is what you like doing. I personally like walking.. a lot. So hopping on a treadmill for 30 minutes at my gym is no biggie.. ask me to run or play basketball as a form of cardio, and I'd say no thanks!

    I love Ultimate Frisbee! So much fun but you forget about how much you run during it
