I hate cardio with a passion. But my daily motto is "suck it up and get it done." I do try to do cardio that is fun and mostly play tennis every day which doesn't feel like exercise when I'm whacking the ball.

I would suggest buying a pedometer. I try to do at least 30minutes aerobic walking every day and having the pedometer as a motivator is the only way I get it done.

When it gets cold and I won't be able to play tennis I plan on taking a dance class. Cardio has to be something that engages my mind completely or I lose patience breathing hard. You can't pay me to get on a treadmill.

Good job on getting out there! It can be rough somedays, but in the end it will make a difference that you at least got out and got your heart pumping and will be worth every minute of it.
