> An hour spent being extremely bored and uncomfortable
In the beginning, this is often true. But exercise is addictive! When your body gets used to it, you really want it and it is not uncomfortable. That "runners high" is also not a myth.

I don't try very hard at it, I'm not running against time, I just jog and don't worry about it.
As for boredom, the opposite happens to me. I find I think better while jogging. I work on programming bugs while jogging, and often find solutions that eluded me while sitting at my desk. I write articles and compose presentations while jogging. It's often my most intellectually productive time of the day.

Looking around at the PT groups I was in during that time, I do not think most of them were looking forward to it.
I try to mitigate the boredom by watching a movie while doing it.
Just seeing the same people every day makes me feel like a community member and helps me stay motivated and connected.
