any FUN ways to EXERCISE???, treadmills are sooo boring... Options

[cheri_pi]

I searched, but was surprised not to find any topics on this (sorry if there were).

I'm 15, I'm 5'2" and I weigh 128. It's not CRAZY overweight, but it's still pretty chubby. I'm already dieting a lot, but my doctor suggests I exercise more too. I can't STAND just running on a treadmill. It's sooooo boring I want to cry. There's nothing to think about except for 'I'm too fat and that's why I'm running'.
Does anyone have any INTERESTING or *gasp* even FUN ways to exercise?
ANYTHING.
Please?

Try bellydancing. go to www.goddesslife.com and check her videos. I lost almost 20 pounds belly dancing every otherday and it makes you feel good about urself and teaches you to move. Its great fun. and that can get old so grab like turbo jam that I've heard its super fun or like tae bo, which I did as well. But if you have any back problems tae bois not for you. If buying videos (try eBay first) is too much of an investment for you, try running in your neighborhood with cd player or iPod with lots of upbeat songs on it that way you have something to look at other than a wall. Also, try reading a book while ur on thetreadmill. It distracts you from what u are doing so you tend to get thru ur workout much faster than you realize. hmm..what else. Dance dance revolution. If your parents love you, have them buy you a dance dance revolution pad and the game (if you have a ps2 or something like that) and the game actually has a calorie burning setting. Thats a lot of fun as well. Or just turn on mtv and dance with the music videos. Kirstie Alley did that for 20 minutes a day in heels to help her lose weight because she had to exercise for her jenny craig plan. So theres lots of alternatives to traditional exercise you can find. The best thing is to keep it exciting and different so you don't get totally burned out.
