Master Chef
I'll be the first to admit that I probably don't exercise as much as I should, but I have a real hard time with treadmills and the like. Try as I might, I get antsy after I'm on one for 10 minutes and just feel like the enjoyment factor is non-existent.
Having said that, I do like being outdoors, and spend a lot of evenings working around the house and yard. I also like swimming, walking, or biking when I can. I realize that doesn't constitute an organized fitness regimen, but I figure doing something is far better than sitting around watching television.
One thing I would also like to do is work some weight training into my life. I used to enjoy that when I was younger.
I, too, hate the machines. I've tried music, TV, anything to make it less boring, to no avail. I gave up my gym membership because I just cannot motivate myself to use the machines enough to make it worthwhile (for a fee you can take exercise classes there w/o membership).
