Cardio bores me so fucking much...

user you should not be able to have your mind wonder, it should take your entire focus and determination to keep pushing and not give up. If you dont feel this way you aren't doing cardio.

it's only boring cause your life and mind is fucking dull

That comes much easily from lifting weights. If I have to spend an hour in the boundary of nihilo for me to think "oh yes, this is finally difficult" or just some max weight reps that take a minute you can guess what my pick is

Go fuck yourself. There is only so much of my /tg/ stuff that I can plan out mentally before it gets meaningless for not being able to write it down. Even then I already do that so much while driving or walking to the library that the last fucking thing I want to do is do it MORE at the gym
Specially when the biggest though is "I really wish this fucking shit ends soon"

Have you considered joining the Olympic running team? Seems like you can run at any speed and have it be boring for 15 min. i'm insanely jealous. Fastest I ever ran a 5k was 15:20 and that was pure hell. Bet you could do that and be bored while doing it. You're a fucking super hero user! Obviously you're in fantastic shape.

I agree that it's pretentious to say that running is boring because you're boring- running IS boring, plain and simple. but you're stupid if you need to be told about audiobooks and podcasts.
and we still haven't addressed how OP is a pussy with no right to complain if he's only running 15 mins. you think you know boredom?

You think lifting to failure is intense cardio?
You are literally the biggest idiot on here dude. You are never going to make it! You honestly think what you do is running? I bet you're fat as fuck and coping, like most heavy lifters. Hope you die in a saw style cardio torture chamber so you see just how out of shape you really are.

Of running is boring you aren't running you fucking idiot faggots, just shuffling.

Damn, are there really that many peeps here that do an hour of cardio multiple times a week aside from their usual lifting? You guys are gods, I aspire to be able to lift every day like you regular folk do.

Sarcasm aside, I agree with OP. Cardio is boring as all hell. I warm up with cardio and on off days of lifting I now listen to heavy bag workouts from nate boxing fitness. Thats 30 minutes that's more fun than running 30 mins on an off day. Or adding another 30 minutes of mindless running.

Of fucking course lifting has nothing to do with cardio, I never said it was. I was saying that lifting is way more fun and I prefer it

Teams have the problem of not giving me the freedom of adjusting when or for how long I can exercise. It is a good idea but my schedule is qu...
>sardonic insults
Go fuck yourself

>heavy bag workout
Hey, you have given me an idea. There is actually a boxing bag at the gym that nobody ever fucking uses, maybe hitting it would be more fun than running for cardio

Wow, calm the fuck down, he doesn't say anywhere that weighlifting=cardio

>15minutes
Real cardio starts at >60minutes.
Also cardio is mostly about suffering and overcoming/improving your distance and or speed.

Post body with timestamp now

>have to spend an hour of nothing before it starts
>literally doubling workout time
Jesus fucking christ, it definitely isn't for me

Jump rope. Much quicker than running.

Run outside dummy

I always imagine I'm a hunter trying to run down a deer or some animal
it often leads to me doing interval intensity though

Podcasts, audiobooks, music

Mindful running?

Google PHAT(Peripheral Heart Action Training. For low intensity cardio do joint mobility circuits for a certain period of time.

>Life bores me so fucking much. There is absolutely no difficulty whatsoever in living for 15 minutes and I end wanting to kill myself due to how brainless it is. Just staring into the abyss and trying to make my mind think away from the supreme boredom that is automitizing my soul till I start to feel tired is enough to make me wonder how the fuck are people who live for years on their hamster wheels not fucking insane.

How the fuck would there ever be a way to make life not the biggest bore in the world?

pop on a podcast you fucking normie faggots, seriously. or just go outside and run which is the only way to make it somewhat interesting.

You sound like a porn addicted zoomer

That's because there's no difficulty whatsoever in sitting on a treadmill for 15 minutes and going 6.5mph. Yes, that's boring as shit. If you actually went outside and trained for more than an episode of Spongebob and set goals for yourself you might realize you can have fun with it

Do sprints, brainlet.

4/10

>yell “nigger” at urban youth
>start running
now you won’t be bored

Take your meds OP it passes the time crazy fast while running

I know you said it as a joke but that would indeed be fun

i think lifting weights is boring, there's too much downtime
to each their own i guess

OP, you gotta go trail running. I would also recommend either Vibram 5 fingers or at least some very minimal running shoes. The added sensation will make it much less boring. You'll be consciously placing every single footstrike. Hell, in fivefingers, it's a challenge simply not to break a toe on a root or rock. You will not be any kind of vegetative state, trust me.

Marijuana is also good for runs going into the 2-? hour range. Wall St. Journal article few years ago about THC and ultrarunning.

I used to juice test and tren and a little deca. Used to curl 135 with perfect form. Used to be huge. Still lift weights 3x a week so my muscles aren't flabby and disgusting, but I fell in love with running 6 years ago. I still look strong, but I am not.

Travel all over to run in cool areas. Like White Mountains in New Hampshire, Thailand, Utah, etc. Running is bliss.

In fact, I have a pretty decent lightweight road bike, and I barely use it b/c (despite the danger of cars and the significantly increased speed over running) I just get bored rotating pedals for more than an hour. Somehow, running is way more engaging for me. I've never biked anywhere near as far as I've run.

Running is fucking awesome. I hope you learn to agree with me.

Anyway, everyone have a great last day of Spring and a great summer!

OP "jogs" at 5 mph on the treadmill for 15 minutes and complains how easy cardio is

Agreed trail running is the the best training. That and lifting and ur good

This.

>only running for 15min

If it's boring you're not doing it hard enough.

you do realize cardio is just a mind game right? Your head will come up with a million ways for why you should stop.

Youre weak minded and getting wrecked.

NGMI

It is what it is. Just do it, there is no roundabout way to do cardio, it is boring and you have to think about your life and failures when running. Use the time to think and actually be with yourself don't numb yourself with music and try to escape boredom. I like to think about how shitty my life is and use it as fuel for my empty existence.

>I can't spend 15 minutes doing nothing
>posts on 4chinz

bet you've never done hill sprints
alternatively, row instead

Yeah that shit isn't "boring' because all you can think about is not passing out. Fuck I havent done those in a while.

>he doesn't philosophize on the treadmill
Never gonna make it

treadmills are fucking cancer. When you're doing your cardio you should be regularly asking yourself if you should increase your pace or slow it down since your condition can vary wildly from run to run. Even if you felt awful early in the run you might be feeling much better 10 minutes in and can crank up the pace for a little while before you dial it back down and go back to gauging if you have enough gas to sprint for another interval. What you're doing right now is the cardio equivalent of pushing the bar for 15 minutes then saying weightlifting is boring.

headphones help but I assume you already use some. I use the same few playlists every time I run so I can better gauge it. If I'm feeling good when I'm at x song that plays 15 minutes in it's a good sign, I can go hard when y starts playing and see if I can keep up the pace for the duration of that entire song.

>The only reason I dont last more is because I can't stand more than 15 minutes of literally nothing

Cope.

Go to a spin class.

>There is only so much of my /tg/ stuff that I can plan out mentally before it gets meaningless for not being able to write it down.
My gym has treadmills you can fix a tablet to, so you could probably do HIIT and type a bit in the active resting phases. Or use a dictaphone, if you don't mind people overhearing you talking about nerd shit (not that anyone hears anything in most modern gyms, because every fucker wears headphones).
Or just listen to audiobooks, podcasts or educational stuff. Maybe learn a language.
Also, you can totally cram your cardio into ten minutes if you increase the intensity. A one mile dash up a steep incline every day should be enough to keep your heart healthy.

this. clearly you've never played hockey before. its probably one of the best cardio leg workouts in the world and also tons of fun

What's a sport I can play solo/doesn't require a team? I'm considering tennis.

1) What speed are you "running" at
2) Are you on an incline?

Ride a real bicycle in the real world. I can't do cardio machines. I love riding. Can't match real wind and sun.

why not play a team sport? having other people gives you a competitive edge.

solo sports:
cycling
swimming
running
boxing (literally 80% cardio sport)
skipping rope (boxers do this)
rowing (an actual boat not in the gym)

with another person:
tennis
soccer

Hit a bag if they have one at your gym.

15 min is a warmup pussy
run outside

Hit a heavy bag, works you the hell out, you practice your punching technique/bobs and weaves, its pretty cool.

do HIIT
if you hate running that much, do burpees
and don't fucking run on a treadmill, goddamnit, no wonder you hate it, go outside

youtube.com/watch?v=sqlJcJfKZJw

do something challenging, you're bored because 15 minutes on a treadmill jogging is not challenging and you're wearing down your joints for literally nothing. get off the treadmill and do some HIIT.

You know what else is boring?
Brushing teeth and wiping your ass. Yet you do these things without feeling the need to write a blog about it on a Croatian Home brewing and Beer appreciation forum.

Fuck you and the weak parents that raised you.

>> OP is a little kid that needs distractions every 5 minutes in order to not get bored

Imagine being such a pussy and needing to be distracted all the time so much that not being distracted for 15 minutes makes you feel bored. Never going to make it in life.

Running (which 15 min is not) is time for yourself. To be alone with your mind and to reflect. Sure, podcasts are good (I use them in 70% of my runs). But needing a podcast in order to make running bearable is not sustainable long-term.

>Television is reality, and reality is less than television

Looked at a few and it ranges from >12 min to >30 minutes. The absolute general definition of cardio. I guess my bad.

But I like roadcycling so there is no sense in doing any session for less than 1h.
Also because it’s cardio the heartrate range should be the focus of your training. If you just dick around in the 50-60% max HR range then it does fuck all for improving your stamina

I just use an stationary bike and watch shows while cycling. Also I've put a wireless mouse in a nylon bag so it doesn't get sweat on it, hooked up the PC to my television and started reading while cycling. I was a fatass and hated exercise so I combined things I liked with cardio and started CICO, lost 40 kg in 10 months that way while reading a lot of books. One friend did a similar thing but he was listening to podcasts while running, use an indoor bike
