Favorite ways to do cardio
Hi! I absolutely hate cardio. How do you guys get past it and not make it insufferable. Trying to lose weight.

have you tried gamifying it? depending on your penchant for competition (with yourself,) it might just end up being one of those agendas you have to suck up and grind it out if its important to you.
Cardio doesn’t have to be done all on one machine. I used to hate cardio and only built up a tolerance by doing 10 minutes of one machine and switching until I hit 30 or 45 or 60 minutes. Highly recommend trying it out.

Just find what you enjoy doing, so that you can do it consistently! If your answer is "nothing", then find the most bearable form of cardio. Personally, I love walking because it's easy. Honestly just go on walks when you have time and doom scroll on your phone--the time would be passed sitting on your couch doom scrolling anyway! Aim for a step goal each day. you can start with 7k steps, move to 10k, and even 15k if that works for you. You might even consider investing in one of those smart rings or watches to track it. I got a decent smart ring for $30 that tracks my steps.
