What is the best cardio for beginners to improve endurance without burning out in the first week? I have tried running but I find it incredibly boring and it makes my shins hurt after ten minutes.

I am living in a hilly part of the UK so walking outside is actually a decent workout, but I want something I can do inside the gym during the winter months. Is the rowing machine a good shout?

I have heard that HIIT is the fastest way to get fit, but I am worried it might be too intense for someone who has not exercised in five years. Should I just stick to steady state cardio on the bike?

My goal is to be able to go for a long hike this autumn without feeling like I am going to collapse. I would love to hear what worked for you guys to get your heart rate up.
