Need help tire of treadmill any suggestion of a different cardio exercise

I'm not sure if it's realistic for where you live, but I take 2 mile walks outside daily. I despise using the treadmill, it bores me to tears, but I absolutely love taking long walks outside.

Step class..................I hate step but it would be good. spinning.

Thanx for your help how about a bike @ the gym

Bike at the gym is good, but you have to make sure you really push yourself.....it is easy to sit and spin and read a magazine......see if you can find a beginner class. They are great.

I started on the treadmill then went to the elliptical. the first time on the elliptical i went 6 minutes and about died. I can go an hour now, but I have gotten bored with it too.

Now I am all about the classes at the gym. Zumba and Pump it are the 2 I go to. I just love the classes. so much fun, an amazing workout and the time goes by soooooo quickly.

I was a little gun shy at first with the zumba thing... but it's a blast. You're huffing and puffing so hard and trying to follow you don't even notice the other people in the room! LOVE IT!

I forgot about zumba...............I am wayyyy to uncoordinated for that, have tried and it is not pretty, but you should give it a try Dino3

Will try all your suggestions thanx

Try Walk It Out for Wii. It makes my walking time fly by.

Do the elliptical. You won't get bored on that!

I don't like stationary bikes.... I don't feel a good workout from it.

I just ordered from Walmart, an air stationary bike to supplement my treadmill.

I agree! Nothing worse than an idle mind on a treadmill. I would suggest that you sign up for a "fun run" 5 k in your area and go online for a training plan to finish it. Train outside when possible. It will give you a new zest in life to cross a finish line no matter how long it takes you. You'll be surprised how many people you pass on race day too.
