I tend to get so bored easily by going to the gym and just doing the elliptical. Anyone have any fun workouts or videos they like to do?

    Absolutely! Try Zumba ,it is such a good workout and a whole lot of fun too.It's just dancing really using south American styles like;salsa,cuban, hiphop and others. There are loads of classes popping up all over the country. If you go onto the Zumba website you can find a class near you. Good luck.

    I'm a Turbo Jam/Kick/Fire junkie! No joke. Lost 60lbs with Turbo Jam, kept it off with Turbo Kick and now I'm losing my last 20 with TurboFire! It's dance, kickboxing, and just plain fun :)

    I Bike ride every chance I get. When bad weather hits I use my eleptical. To make the eliptical more enjoyable I put it in front of the TV and watch something good. I can NOT do the eliptical without TV. Music does not even make it fun. But when watching TV I lose track of time while exercising.

    Zumba 2 for the Wii... I can burn about 700 calories in an hour and they have several different workout "classes" you can do.

    I do Zumba and go Roller Skating ~ both can feel totally ridiculous at times, but they both give you a great burn and are tons of fun!

    I like bootcamp style classes at the gym. I don't care how goofy I look carrying around the weights. If I don't hurt the next day, I didn't try hard enough!

    If it's not fun, count me OUT!

    I won't do what I do not enjoy no matter the benefit.
    In general I do 90 minutes of cardio with 30 minutes of resistance 6 days a week.

    I do a lot of weird things for cardio like military march, boxing type training,
    dancing, floor rolls, squat thrust intervals and the good ole jumping jack.
    And I jog, swim, play tennis, hike and bike.

    Lost 64lbs and nearly 20% body fat - it works for me.

    I LOVE the Les Mills BodyCombat classes... And Sh'Bam is just amazing too. I think it's a little bit like Zumba, but more varied & with chart songs instead of South American/Latino.

    Try a new class at your gym!

    I adore my salsa fitness class. And hip hop is fun too. I enjoy adding these to my overall routine (Nike Training Club, interval running outside, lifting) because I get bored easily.

    Check out Nike Training Club if you have ipod touch or iphone.

    I agree with the others. Zumba is awesome! Some other fun ones are the Just Dance games and Tae Bo.

    Try finding a local Contra-Dance - Read an article today that someone put on a pedometer when contra-dancing and by the end of the evening had logged in 6 miles. If you don't know about contra-dancing just google it. You can find dances all over the country.

    Definitely hiking! I am an outdoor lover. To be surrounded by nature while burning 3000+ calories for a decent 8 mile hike is bliss.
