Strength training is boring

I am approaching 40 and not planning to have any more children and I would like to start a strength training/pilates routine. I used to run, bike, do sports, etc. and I know they say “do the exercise you enjoy” but since having three c-sections and not exercising beyond walks and running after kids for 5 years, I feel that I really need to get my body stronger before I can reintroduce higher impact exercise. i think it would be really good for me overall. i tried doing pelvic floor pt but i never did the exercises they assigned for homework 🤦‍♀️ Ive also done those monthly subscription exercise apps for moms but never did the classes! I don’t have the finances for a personal trainer. I wake up before everyone so theoretically I have time in the mornings (though I’ll have to trade out my alone with tea and crossword puzzle time) but this kind of slow and precise exercise is so. freaking. boring to me.

Has anyone figured out how to get yourself into a routine for boring exercise?
