What form of Cardio do you do?

[PhiSig2298]

I'm not big into running.. I don't mind sprinting, but long distance isn't my thing.


Bought little PhiSig a trampoline for his B-Day & I bounced on it with him for 30-40 minutes & was drenched! Pulse was racing! Felt good to go out & have fun with him but still get some good Cardio in..

What's your Cardio?

[PWOGasMan]

[feelsg00dmayne]

some circuit training.

i.e. choose three simple BW exercisies... do 15 of each and cycle through them as many times in 20-30 minutes.

fast. effective. fun.

At Uni, sometimes I take the stairs.

[trance__dreamer]

walking to/from grocery stores. walk down stairs on vancouver skytrain (our subway). but never up the stairs; too lazy.

oh. teach spinning (stationary cycling) & step aerobics classes.

[Ion26]

[SoulZeppelin]

I run, but mostly for relaxation. Did a race about two weeks ago and had fun. Trying to learn to jump rope lol.

Take a drag sled for a walk after a workout occasionally. That's about as close as I come to serious goal related cardio.

[mynameisuntz]

Cycling + yogging.

[HunterCML]

Aaron Alagon taught me about hardcore kettleballz training for teh heart rate.


So clearly I disregarded that bro and just do a daily fap fap instead.

Elliptical all day, or treadmil @ 10* and 3.5-4.0mph (brisk brisk walk)

[mynameisuntz]

You guys should try biking. You know, if you feel like being challenged.

[Trillios]

Incline treadmill walking. No holding bars. :)

[drewbie57]

Renovating.

[hawaiistack]

Paddle board, surf.... I know, it's a rough life....

[MarkVI]

Treadmill, outside, bout it

If you're going to run on the treadmill outside, wouldn't it make more sense to just run on the sidewalk? Sheeeesh!

[dbh332]

Jumprope bike and go on the elliptical.

[AnnieOlson]

Running 2-3 times a week. Training for a 5K.

[Xfaxtor]

Super setting High rep squats and leg curls...

[ryands650x]

Incline treadmill, no hands. I dont do any direct calf work and with the incline on 10% at 3.5mph they get a pretty good burn, 30-40 minutes every other day.

[juliacheh]

Running/swimming/Insanity videos but there are weeks and sometimes months where I go without any. I include higher rep training though to compensate.

[2canman]

4 miles. 1st mile you push yourself to the point where you want to throw up and just stop, but you don't and you repeat the next three miles in the same manner. Before i got injured, i had my 4 mile time down to 26:30 (not saying it's good).

[oats_addict]

Walk anywhere that I can, rather than get the bus.
Swim
Incline treadmill

[juliacheh]

Oh, and I walk every day, also like to walk to the store and bring groceries, but I consider it my lifestyle, not formal cardio.

[JasonDB]

3-4x a week I walk to the grocery story a bit over a mile away, fill my backpack up with food and walk home. I do 20 rep squats first thing most mornings also lately.

[lovingit]

I'm not much of a cardio person, but when I do it I use the treadmill (vary walking steep incline or jogging).

[Geoloop]

walk from car to gym, and from gym to car.

[NCepeeist]

walk up the stairs at the chemistry building on campus (four flights of pain!) and to and from car, which is a good 20 min walk around campus between classes. O and cant forget walking to the store (save gas much?)

[Dujin77]

Heavy bag work, sparring, grappling, and circuits.

Rolling/randori/grappling is some of the best cardio out there IMO just need a partner who is one the same level as you or a litle above so you can really push yourself.

[TheRagingboxer]

Currently Walking the Dogs 1-2 miles
When I cut, 3 mile jog, LISS, Hiking etc...

[BunkMoreland]

10% incline fast walking, usually

[ErickStevens]

ARC Trainer for 30 minutes, 3x per week.

[x2lvlarcher]

Nature hikes 5 to 15 miles once a week to escape drama.

[exnihillo]

Walk dogs every morning 2-3 miles.. bike commute to work..

[Foe1605]

That's impressive. Best I ever got for a four miler was like 28:30. Running is my prime choice for cardio, but I've cut it down to 6 miles per week for my recomp.

[joelash302]

Rock climbing and occasionally hiking.

[George_Bondrew]

unicycling, running, walking the dog, and juggling

[Siafu4Life]

I read so many conflicting reports, and get so many different opinions from trainers I know...about the HIIT/LISS debate. I swear if you ask 10 different people, you'd probably get 10 different answers. Currently I'm just doing some LISS, and running between 3.25 and 3.75 miles in a half hour. Nothing fancy. I do like HIIT, but lately I'm getting more folks saying that LISS is better...if you have the time, and aren't necessarily worried about training to increase speed.

[alexalive]

Was a parkour junkie till I broke my hand

[NordAK]

I used to waste hours on cardio machines because I thought I had to.... now I only do it for fun. I usually climb a 3-4,000ft mountain at least once a week, pushing myself to beat my previous time. The view at the end is always worth it.

Don't waste time on machines. Go outside.

You didnt really just say that **** is fun, did you?

I do 15 mins of warm-up on the AMT, and 2-3 times a week i do 10-12 mins of intervals on it. Bad arthritis in my knees so actual running isnt an option

Edit: might start doing more BB complexes (DL, rows, SLDL, jerk) to help out though

[mike201011]

Parkour or HIIF'ing.

[sunngodd]

None. Cut is going just fine and resting heart rate is <50

There are pubmed case studies on this debate, should be able to draw conclusions from them.

Those studies are usually pretty worthless to bodybuilders however. I don't care if HIIT burns more fat on my grandma than LISS... let's see studies on people who do intense weight training at least 3 times a week for several years, and if HIIT gives and afterburn for them or not.

Have you checked all the articles on Lyle's site about HIIT vs. LISS? There is a ton of info...

A mountain bike can go on and off road, and I enjoy riding off-road even more. A road bike is better for the road, but you're confined to asphalt.

[PBateman2]

Football, swimming, hiking, etc...do about 6-8 hours of cardio/week.

Cant stand the sight of gym cardio equipment....throw holy water on it..lol.

Problem solved! Lose the 40 psi tires; acquire 90 psi tires that can handle terrain and be faster on the pavement.

Or you can just throw on a pair of Ritchie slicks, and your golden :P

Btw, I ride at 100 psi. Had no clue that it was supposed to be at 90, I'm assuming my tires won't be lasting too long? Haha

Well the tires on that bike are designed for off road or paved road; it's a cyclocross bike, and cyclocross races have people going through terrain along with more flat/paved paths. So the tires are durable for either.

If you have road tires, then the PSI will be more like 120 or even as high as 140 for some tires. The psi of your specific tires will be written on the side, so you don't have to guess :P

I have a set of cyclocross tires which are 85 psi along with a set of slicks which are 120 psi. Easy to just switch out the tires depending on what kind of riding I'll be doing.

In the end, I think it makes little difference.

As to the OP, I currently only do cardio on leg days. 20 minutes either eliptical, walking outside, or in-home cardio - 20 minutes of bouncing around, basically(srs, did this while cutting, too).

I really don't have much need for cardio. I walk 40 minutes(to and from gym), walk another 45 minutes to/from/inbetween classes(some days more), and then my job consists of pretty constant patrolling. I need to get a pedometer.

[MikeK46]

Somehow I doubt that bike would handle well off-road ;)


Damn man! Such a sick bike! Repped!

Do you know where I could find one like that?

It was a Giant XtC NRS-2 which was like a $1500 bike, but you can find used ones on Craigslist for half that or less. Giant makes some sick bikes...

http://www.giant-bicycles.com/en-us/bikes/model/anthem.x.advanced.sl/9026/48886/

[mynameisuntz]

What kind of off-roading are you doing? If you're doing legitimate mountain biking, where you're going off drops and doing very high impact biking, then it won't be as optimal. If you're talking about going on dirt paths, stone, grass, smaller drops, mud, etc. then it would handle very well! That's what it's meant to do.

Just depends on the type of off-roading.

[CurrWolf]

Always loved sprinting in school but since I've left I must admit my cardio of choice alternates between power walking and cycling. Usually post-workout.

Found a decent track for sprints a couple months back though. Should make use of it.

You didnt really just say that **** is fun, did you?
music is a powerful motivator. find the beat & work to it. it's delightful. but then again, i'm a trance addict. ;) & i can automatically hear the phrasing in music. why do you think aerobics is so popular in europe, even w/ men? it's fun to do shti to the beat. even when you lift, you guys start @ certain parts of a song, eh?






yea. i'm trying to find a hiking group in my area. vancouver is FULL of opportunities.

[DTrulez616]

Ive been doing 2-3 30-35 minute runs at a 6-7 minute mile pace a week. Sometimes I will sub in an Elliptical or conditioning workout. I was also in a bad car accident at the beginning of summer so ive.been doing a lot of walking for commute. I want to spend like $1000 on a decent road bike to save time and stop taking the bus. It a better investment than getting a new car.

[JDkeystone]

right now, nothing (not allowed while recovering from BA surgery). feelsbadman...really, really bad. :(

but when i actually am going to the gym regularly, my first go-to machine for cardio is the arc trainer. then sprints on the treadmill, or HIIT on the stairmaster. not a session goes by that i don't arrive at the gym bone dry, and leave thoroughly soaked lol.

Strong username to post content relationship. In all seriousness my cardio tends to go in spurts. Currently on a jogging fad or maybe yogging. The j may be silent. Basically all you do is run

In the past its been hiit, jump rope, stadiums at doak, and circuits
