I do quite a few of those things. I still get quite bored with them. :) Biking to work only works for me because it becomes an obligation. And, if I had my bus pass with me, I would easily take the bus on more days than not.

Also again, my point was that getting good at exercising is getting good at a relatively quiet mindset that many people deprive themselves of. So, I believe there to be a feedback loop between the two ideas.

You could try jiu-jitsu. I've yet to meet a person who could honestly say that getting choked out is "boring".
I was going to write exactly this, but you beat me to it. My whole family (me, spouse, two kids aged 5 and 8) train four days a week and we all love it. I get bored easily with other exercise, but so far have never had that problem with Jiu Jitsu.
