I'm going to look for Irish dance exercise Youtubes later, though.
For lung capacity and endurance, anything that gets you breathing harder and your heart beating faster will do the trick. So dance could be a great option if that interests you.
Ironically, being crappy and n00bish at a movement style will actually help at improving your cardiovascular capacity, because you're going to be doing a lot more flailing. *g*
If you're okay with being "bad at" something in the privacy of your own home, dipping into different dance styles can be fun and interesting. I'm dyspraxic and can't dance, and have happily played with bellydance and modern dance and industrial and ballet workouts at home. If I treat it as movement learning and curiosity, rather than something I expect to be able to master, it's fascinating.
Depending on where your cardiovascular capacity is at present, yoga videos with "vinyasa" or "flow" in the titles might be worth checking out: they involve moving relatively rapidly from pose to pose, so they're harder to follow if you're still getting a grip on the poses, but can give you more of a "workout" than slower-paced yoga.
