As far as keeping lean and losing weight, diet is a lot more effective than exercise, unless it's extreme.
Cardio isn't much an issue for me, instead of sitting on my ass and listening to podcasts or watching movies I do it on the elliptical.
I've got a strong heart, unfortunately my bones aren't strong and I could never run more than 20 miles a week without getting fractures in my femurs.
The cardio shows, my blood pressure are better than healthy teenagers and my heart rate is anywhere from 40-48 bpm.
In high school when I was a good middle distance runner and weighed 165 at 6'2" it got down to 30 bpm. I just couldn't put miles in like some people or I'm sure I would have run in the 4:10's... but that's past and who gives a shit...
