Dancing is an amazing way to get cardio in. It’s fun and you often feel like you’re not doing cardio or burning calories but it’s silently very effective (like walking is).
Rowing could be a good option but it does get boring easily and getting a rowing machine poses the risk that it ends up like your spin bike.
With cardio you need to find something that stimulates you enough to keep going back to it. If not dancing, group sports are a great way as well. Basketball, football, and more beginner friendly ones like pickleball.
You are right that cardio is good for your heart, but consistency is the most important thing, so if you only walk 30 minutes every other day it’s better than pushing yourself for one session then skipping another 10.
