    How do any of you get through cardio?

    ive been getting up and doing 30-35 minutes of cardio while watching a tv program.. by the time 35 minutes is up i cant just stand it anymore im going crazy... i dont know how you guys can keep it up.. the only thing that makes me keep going is focussing on what i want to look like, but even then sometimes that gets put in the back of my mind..

    What gets me to finish my sessions is thinking about the results it will give me. I want it too bad to quit, so its easy enough

    My favorite is the stationary bike + a good book

    I keep my heart rate in the zone and don't see the time fly when I am reading. Reading on the treadmill is a little harder.

    When I found out that holding your piss when you have to go really bad can lead to a bladder infection, I pause and go piss. (Yes it says this is more common in women than in men, but it still happens in men as well) I don't like risking sh*t like that, and I can't really keep up the pace when I'm grimacing and grabbing my crotch.

    maing it can be so hard to get through boring cardio!

    i've found personally i can jump rope w/out getting bored for like an hour, but only as long as pro tennis is on (go figure). or i'll ride my bike for hours, but only when it's nice out.

    but i think the only thing to do in the end is just look at it as something that you have to do for 30 min. or however long you do it every time, so it's not even a question anymore.

    Just get into a basketball game; the running seems more purposeful.

    My cardio is usually for a fight. Kickboxing or Judo, and I have my first Vale Tudo fight in July. So I concentrate on my fight, I try to throw in 1-2 minute sprints very 5-7 minutes also.

    'Train hard, fight easy. Train easy, fight hard'

    'Sweat in the gym save blood in the ring'

    That sort of thing gets me through.
