Jumping rope is also great exercise but kinda boring if you ask me. There are ways to mix it up and keep it fun though. Like doing double unders and different little routines.

Thanks for the running program, I’m going to give it a decent shot.
I’m also going to try to work the cardio mainly on my rest days.
I’ll end up mixing in the jump rope with the running either way coz i jump on my workout days; but if the running workout plan doesn’t fit, i’ll still try to keep in there at some capacity.
Funny thing about your quote: to me, jogging’s the boring one. With jump rope I can just kinda zone out to the rhythm of the rope or do tricks with it if i want to do tricks. When I run I feel like I’m moving in slow motion and I can’t wait for it to be over- usually hurts too much to zone out.

I think a lot of people share your opinion of running. I try to run in interesting places. Mostly on trails or with a running club. Sometimes I run down by the college. Lots of activity down there. Try to pick a good place to run. If you can get past the “this is boring” part, I think you’ll find running to be very rewarding. Almost like a meditative experience.
Good luck.
