running is my only source of cardio along with the rowing machine at the gym, now im a keen runnier, and could properbly i do enough running to count as good cardio, but rowing is getting really boring, any ideas what i could do instead of rowing?

thanks people

I like the stair stepper and other 'standing' cardio. As summer is coming the best advice would be to move the cardio outdoors. You'll get enough of the gym walls when winter returns anyway.

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

This will sound a little checky but my favourite cardio is the step class
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.

Swimming. Excellent exercise, great for learning to breath properly while you exercise as well.

Absolutely!

Other martial arts work great too, karate, judo, taekwondo...

Or you could try squash or tennis, also great fun.

Rowing has to be about the worst cardio on the planet for not getting bored.

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