Actually, Im getting a little into dumbbell exercises and yoga for my fitness. I should do more cardio, but I don't really like running. Any recommendations?

Swimming.
I always liked rowing machines, and the kind with a drum of water for the correct resistance burn you out really fast, but that's probably not the kind of cardio you want.
There are always light kickboxing classes. The actual sport mind you, none of that exercise video bullshit.

I should get back into exercising...

Swimming is better, even if you'r not good.
Swimming trains your body as whole and also keeps your condition on the plusitive side.
You also get a nice buttom : )!

As much as I dislike it as a sport, playing basketball is pretty good for getting in shape. Decent cardio with all the running around, teaches you hand-eye coordination with dribbling and shooting, and good leg workout with all the jumping.
Going to the gym will get you there, but it can hardly be considered a fun way to get in shape, unless you like the gym environment. Playing a sport that you enjoy and will do regardless of getting a workout will ensure you stick with it.

I'd like to learn swimming, but its quite impossible for me I cannot swim at all. Maybe I'll try soccer for cardio; basketball is fun and all, but meh...there's like one court in the city i live, and I know there will be people playing there that i don't like.
Play DDR. I bet koreans love DDR.

Actually, in Korean, DDR is a acronym for their word for masturbate. Not that good of a workout, really. I think running is a good idea. Also biking intensely (which I used to do before my bike was stolen) twice a week can help with fitness.
Hmm...you must not have played on a very high level then...

Dude there's no way you can't swim lol all you have to do is flap your legs and arms on the water . Or is it some kind of trauma?
You could also just eat right and do small exercises, not so much sitting and stuff.
Well....pretty much the most boring and dull way...

the easiest way to loose weight is jogging... if yo don't have stamina you start with ~20 minutes with small pauses .. then later ~30 with even less pauses then 40 with only 1 pause and then after ~10 weeks 1 hour without a pause.
its the best simply the easiest way.. you stand up early, eat an apple or banana + some juice or so, grab your MP3-player (or something similiar) and start jogging.. the music helps you to run in rhythm and its actually pretty fun because time passes by very fast.
after that you just take a showever and feel great.
if you want to do sports i recommend to play with friends if you were never in a team before. its simply more fun and nobody blames you for doing something wrong ^^
I find jogging hurts the knees and back after a short time. Elliptical training at the gym is better if you're out of shape and have sore body parts. As with anything, like KrayZ33 said, find some friends to do it with, it's more fun and more likely to continue. Unfortunately friends will get upset with you for sucking if they are competitive or really into a sport.

if this happens, you've got the wrong shoes.
you might want to visit a doctor if that happens, maybe he gives you a orthopedic arch support (or what ever its called in english)
According to my brother there is nothing better for him than running, he randomly runs three miles or so sometimes and he's very in shape.
I hate running though. My favorite sports are dodgeball and kickball, but no one plays those anymore. I also love to swim (apparently I was able to swim before I could run), but the nearest pool is just the mini apartment pool thing. So I've settled for jogging home from school whenever I'm not too lazy, which has been for the last two days and prolly today. (It's downhill so I don't mind ~2 miles) I like the sore feeling I get after running, it means I'm doing something right. It's not too obtrusive either, because I get home before my bus does and my backpack isn't too heavy.
It turned out that most of my friends have been going to the gym and actually having after school sports instead of living a sedentary lifestyle like I thought they were, so I might as well jump on the bandwagon and get in shape too. XD

Ive been getting out of shape lately, mostly cause of school, last time i went to the gym i could only run 20 mins non stop, then after a small break i went another 10 mins and stopped, meh.
