What are some exercises (cardio) that got you in shape without running, without getting frustrated, that you have stuck to and worked?

I used to run like a maniac and it's all I have ever done to lose weight. I just can't do it anymore even though it drops the pounds fast for me. I hate it. I lift weights and enjoy that. Looking for successful cardio exercises other than running. I know how to eat and all that. I'm looking for a cardio activity I can do that doesn't make me want to end my life as I am doing it, even if the results are gradual, as long as the results are significant.

Cycling is good but it takes longer than running

@SW-User Yup I like cycling....I have done that but the results are minimal for me...I haven't been consistent with it though. You have luck with cycling to lose weight?

@NiftyWhite I cycle for transportation but to lose weight it was reducing intake and running 70 km per week

@SW-User Ya I used run 10k a day....Ugh. I'm done. LOL. I need something else.

@NiftyWhite it's good to mix it up but nothing beats running - out and back in an hour.

Ya running for an hour feels like 7 days LOL the next day I be like "I can't do it again. I don't have time for a 7 day run today!" LOL @SW-User

@NiftyWhite I have nice surroundings and I listen to podcasts. I sometimes dread the idea of running but once I'm out there I never regret it. Try "Stuff You Should Know".
