What kind of cardio do you do?
I have a shitty treadmill, decent bike and some wackass elliptical machine from my gf.
The treadmill doesn't raise all that much, maybe a few degrees but still puts a challenge. I used to ride a bike all the time but the small seat on this one kills my ass :disgust Elliptical's are nice but this one isn't smooth and feels more like im jerking my legs around then doing anything productive. I'm thinking maybe incline treadmill and then bike 45-60 minutes a day. I dont run, only interested in burning fats at a lower heart rate. |
I use my walking stick to get down stairs to my motorbike :2 cents:

Incline tread mill at a fast walk will be a good one. You said you don't run on, that's good because treadmills, especially the cheaper ones, are hard on the knees when you run.
|
I have an old boflex but I never use it. Walk the dogs every day, that's about it.
|
nothing wrong with a tread mill, its just good to note that just because you can run 10k on a tread mill doesn't necessarily mean 10k off it will be just as easy ;)
I prefer swimming for cardio, but when i'm training for triathlons or marathons running is a must. try some cycling shorts for the 'small hard seat' on the bike. You can get mountain bike ones that are loose if you don't feel comfortable wearing spandex of course! |
sex
rollerblades walking martial arts |
I carry a 40 lb toddler up and down the stairs all day long.
The elliptical in my bedroom holds my wet towels. |
Timed interval heavy bag workouts. You will get more then just cardio benefits from these types of workouts.
|
I train basketball for 2 hours every day.... :)
|
|
spinning
|
Me? Cardio? Do?
I need a machine of some kind. I liked the old nordic trak ski machine one of my brothers used to have. Do they still make them? |
Jogging, basketball and the king of cardio --- jump rope.
|
i really need to pump it up to 2 hours a day, 1 in the morning and 1 at night. im doing some hardcore weight training 2x a week with a pro trainer and after 4 weeks noticed a big difference, but trying to drop as much fat as possible.
im thinking i need to get a better pair of shoes, the ones i have are horrible for doing any type of long activity on the treadmill |
Do interval style training instead of long hours of cardio, you get more bang for your buck.
It's harder but it only takes about a half hour. Intervals will also increase HGH levels which helps burn fat as well. |
I have sex with my new bf for 3-5 hours a day does that count?
|
I walk up four steps to go to my office, then run down those steps to grab my weed dealer on the corner, then back up those stairs then - OH SHIT! - that's the ice cream truck so it's back down the four steps, grab some Good Humor bars, then back up those four steps to my desk. I don't think rolling a doob and unwrapping the ice cream bars counts, tho. Wish they did.
Is this what you mean by 'cardio'? |

i could always just rub one off in a sleeping bag, that should do the trick :1orglaugh |
I stress myself out from overwork to the point my heart rate goes up
|
Swimming and running every day.
|
Not enough... but when I do its either my bike or we have a really nice elliptical as well. :pimp
|
I bike 9 miles a day to commute to work... but I think I need to add a little more.
|
I walk a lot. Always have even as a kid.
|
I do a lot of interval training, but also some LSD. VO2 max is good, but pacing and recovery are also important.
|
sounds like a good work out Jesus... My brother is a arbourist (lumber jack) and he wears thick chainsaw pants in the heat of the summer so there is no fat on him at all.
I'd be nervous to swing an axe but seems like something I should at least learn to do properly hehe |
i get all of my cardio from fucking
|
3 miles running a day and 20 minutes step machine on the weekdays. On the weekends 36 holes of golf without a cart.

I have some serious yard work im going to try and get to this weekend, most of which involves shoving dirt around, wheel barrel up and down my hilly lot and carrying 40lb bags of dirt and mulch around to the back of the house to plant a garden :1orglaugh |
doesnt matter what you do its how you do it.
|
Cardio that includes a donkey, a roll of quarters, a banana, and a rubber glove!
HAHAHA! |
Schwinn Model 130? upright bike I found on Amazon.com for $165. Top rated in Consumer Reports. Do 17 miles in 45 minutes on level 8. Gets my cardio up to about 155.
Nice and smooth with some good jams to listen to. |
Do some XC MTB :thumbsup

I run. Can't say I like it, but it does allow me to eat things that would normally be off limits.
|
