Cardio bunny?
Ok, I am rather new to this forum.....been here for a few months. I often come across the term cardio bunny. Now, what exactly makes one a cardio bunny?? It seems that it is used as a rather derogatory term. I personally LOVE cardio. However, I do my fair share of weights. So does this exclude me from the cardio bunny category? I go to an all female gym and don't really notice who is on or off the cardio machines or for how long an individual is on one. I dunno, I just find the reference kinda irritating.

Besides the affinity for the long cardio sessions at low intensity, with no effort spent on anything else, it's mainly the big ears and bushy tail. But another important indication is if your poops are little pellets.

Dude, you're 39 years old, and a "seemingly" derrogatory term is getting to you?
You can see the term as negative or positive, it doesn't sound all that bad if you really love cardio.

A cardio bunny will not break a sweat during the 1 .5 hours spent on the treadmill, 7 days per week. Nor will a single weight be hoisted, not even one coated in pink neoprene  . One look at your avitar will tell anyone that you certainly are no cardio bunny - you look fabulous!

A cardio bunny does cardio 5,6,7 times a week. Weights are either never done or as an afterthought after one hour on cardio. Cardio bunnies have no muscle tone for obvious reasons and a disproportionate percentage are Holocaustically thin.
A synonym is a cardio queen.

Now that's funny.....I don't care who you are.
I was thinking "Energizer Bunny" myself.
And no, cookiecrumb, you don't look like a cardio bunny to me either.

Well, if you have an avatar, I turned mine off so I wouldn't know who is male or female.
However, if you love doing something then who cares what people thinks.

As a gym employee give me a cardio bunny to look at rather than the sweaty Rhino type. Our gym caters to the local running community and a lot of the women that do constant cardio are either marathoners or triatheletes and are training for the spring runs.

You said " I go to an all female gym".
I don't think a cardio bunny would go to an all female gym. The girls that are called cardio bunnies at the gym I go to have one main objective and thats to try their best to make the mens teeth sweat.

Our tastes are definitely different. I don't find extreme thinness and anorexia attractive at all and sex is out of the question because they are so brittle they will break.
Mindy O'Brien, the fitness pro, to me is the perfect figure. Trim, but with curves and hard, defined muscle and strong as a bull for her size. But the mainstream still considers her "too hard".

Ya'll forgot the part about them talking on their pink cell phones while they "work out"!
But I appreciate them... great scenery while I do my cardio!
I even saw one with a 'pull me' thong peeking out recently.

People on cell phones should be banished from the gym, regardless of the color of the phone!

Agreed! I was on the stepmaster the other week and there was this gal on the machine next to me. She had a cell phone in some type of nylon bag hanging from the machine. Attached to her ear was a corded ear piece. Man, she was yakking for nearly an hour! I'm generally a pretty passive guy, but my tolerance was severly tested that day.
By the way, I have always thought of a cardio bunny as a nice looking woman in fairly good shape who is meticulously dressed for attention.

Cookie, Ya look great too... The CB term at our gym refers to the ladies that only do the cardio... never really conditioning. Most would get winded if really pushed. Typically, they watch the TV really loudly too.

Cardio Bunny or Bunster?
Can be a man or a woman I have noticed:
1. Cell phone on cardio machine
2. Reads book while sitting on a bike
3. When and if they DO break a sweat they QUICKLY slow down or towell off
4. Women will be in full make up with HAIR DOWN ( I REALLY dont get that)
5. Men will often read the paper in spurts or chit chat with female cardio bunnies and lean against their machines
6. They are either unusually very thin or allways packin around an extra 40 lbs and look at the weight lifters in distaste because some of their "bigness" or "muscles" might just jump off and infect them
7. They go to the gym for months and months, years and years- never change, never improve and ALLWAYS have an excuse for it.
8. They constantly bitch about NEVER eating much and brag about the tiny miniscule amount of food they are surviving on and heaven forbid ANYONE suggests they change THAT.
9. If you end up chatting with one in the locker room and make the HUGE mistake of offering a suggestion they IMMEDIATLY shoot you down with the answer- can you guess??? Ill give you two guesses---YES!! "I DONT WANNA GET BIG LIKE YOU!!!"
ok thank you for letting me rant... Jan is the prime month for cardio bunnies and bunnsters....

BlondeAmazon, rant all you want. This is classic!!
I'd like to "infect" some of those bunnies and bunsters.
I'm a guy, but just in the last week( The New Year's Resolutionists have arrived), THREE people (two guys, one woman) have already said "I don't want to get big like you".

Yep, agreed - and how do they keep that perfect coiffured look and lipstick in place ?
I once went straight after work in full slap, and managed to get make-up all over my towel. I kept rolling it up so it didn't show up much...
...Then I got to the locker room, and almost died - I'd 'glowed' so much that I looked like Alice Cooper
Nice.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I have done this- I can never figure out how NOT to sweat like a cat in a dogpound. I end up ruining a gym towell by wiping it all off. Looking like something outta a Steven King horror movie by the time I am done.
