It is definitely boring, at least _initially_.

Later, you can compare how you feel with previous workouts and notice differences in how you feel, challenge yourself etc.

You can consider the first few times to just be a benchmark. Another reason to not give 100%: You don't want to put the bar too high for the next times, lol

But it may still be boring so that's why finding something you like doing is important :)

I want to get into bouldering and climbing again. That was the most fun I had while exercising in my life.

I have to say one thing. The whole walking, running, rowing cardio type stuff, I find boring as hell. I tried watching TV, listening to music, etc. Podcasts and audio books are best for me so I stop thinking about what I'm doing.
