Hiking is great if there are good areas near you. Also I love to play recreational soccer or other sports during the summer. It's fun and does not have to be hard-core

Its almost as hard as HITT, 800 calories in a 50 minutes class including streching, and really fun. You can try cardio box or other kind of aerobic class too.

Absolutely!
Other martial arts work great too, karate, judo, taekwondo...
Or you could try squash or tennis, also great fun.

If running with music is boring then dance dance revolution is used by a lot of people, though I've never tried it.

I did this a few weekends ago when we went out to Dave and Busters, and did it. LOL, I actually sweatted quite a bit after 15 minutes.
