The worst part about the gym - cardio!

I have a love/hate relationship with the gym. I love working out with weights. I absolutely hate doing cardio. I have plenty of options for the cardio part of my workout. Upright bike, recumbent bike, treadmill, stair climber, elliptical. So it's not that I lack for options. The problem is I find all of them excruciatingly boring. In spring, summer, and early fall I can ride my gravel bike which I enjoy and don't find boring. I have plenty of nice routes to choose from. I happen to live in a place where the scenery is beautiful and the weather is dry 99% of the time. I just hate the "stationary" aspect of any cardio machine. Walking or riding nowhere. Mindlessly pedaling or walking staring at a bank of TVs for 30 minutes or more. Even though the machine is telling me I'm burning lots of calories (cardio is good at that), I find it mentally painful. I'd almost rather go to the dentist. I never feel that way working out with weights and weight machines. I'm never bored and it's the part…
