Cardio Help!

I enjoy running, but it becomes so boring for me and it seems like it takes forever. I'm trying to get a six pack, and from what I read...you have to lose the fat layer on your abs for them to show along with weight training to tone and give them the washboard look. Any suggestions would be great..Thanks!

I know the feeling, 5 min for me is like 5 hrs! -------------- The trouble with jogging is that, by the time you realize you are not in shape for it, it is too far to walk back! Franklin P.

Sprinting short and long bouts i8s good too. -------------- The trouble with jogging is that, by the time you realize you are not in shape for it, it is too far to walk back! Franklin P.
