rollerblading, hiking, jumping rope

1)Station 1 jump rope for 20 seconds
jog for 40 secs
Station 2 burpees for 20 seconds
jog back for 40 secs to Station 1

repeat for 20 minutes

2) All-out sprint for 10 seconds
-Walk back for 1 minute
Repeat for 8 rounds

3) Running stairs, bleachers

4) Death Circuit (Got this from Rubes); Vanillabn does a similar circuit w/a couple of different exercises

**DEATH CIRCUIT x 5**
Burpees 10 per round
Walking Lunges 16 per round
Side Lunges 16 per round
Mountain Climbers 50 per round
Jump Rope 50 swings per round
1 Minute rest between rounds


5) Got this idea from Iwantgreatglutes
Walk on treadmill for 1 minute (like a 10% incline 3.5)
Jump off and do alternating forward lunges for 30 sec
Walk on treadmill for 1 minute
Jump off and do alternating reverse lunges for 30 sec
Walk on treadmill for 1 minute
Jump off and jump rope for 30 sec
Repeat for 20 minutes or so

I also love doing different things on the stepmill:
skipping steps
facing sideways, stepovers
leg kickbacks
high knees (like marching)
butt kicks
climb fast to top, and keep 1 knee up and let the stair go to the bottom, then climb fast to top and repeat with other knee
skating side to side

I like the elliptical with heavy resistance/incline. Guess that's not very interesting though.

[deawalsh]

HIIT on the treadmills!!...even better when you incline it, that's burning and working that butt!!....sometimes i'll go on the elliptical and stairmaster!!
for the time, it always depends on my goals!

[Emoore]

Hittin' the heavy bag.

[fitlover]

HIIT.

2-3x per week, max.

[Jrzimmer]

DANCE!!!! Seriously once you learn and you get going...you don't even realize your exercising!

[star4822]

I agree with the dancing! I also like jumping rope, step aerobics DVDs, walking on an incline and the occasional run.

[kpettitt]

I LOVE dancing! I do a dance cardio three times a week and that's ALL the cardio I do~ and it kicks my butt!

Dance off the inches!!

holy moley! I am trying that tonite!

I love doing sets of 20m on tread and then 20m on elliptical then 20m back on tread - of that same thing inverted.

[genn]

Stairmaster with ankle weight doing HIIT. That just kill my butt and quads. After 10 min i'm done with that !

HIIT on the treadmill

[CourtneyBlair]

This is EXACTLY what I do. I've got that cardio ADHD. Switching it up keeps me from getting bored. I can put everything I've got into each exercise. ... and hell yes on the techno!

[muskles77]

Swim or dance.

[Walk2liv]

running stairs or shadow boxing

[freebirdmac]

And no one mentions the horizontal mambo? What's with you ladies???

[strong kathy]

I teach spinning and love it

Belly dancing! Hulahooping!

HIIT, however, tops both of those.

[medjen]

Stepmill, FTW!

Love that thing.

Versa Climber Intervals for 20-30 minutes.
To the Trance Station on Pandora.
I feel bad ass after that!

[cfit82]

Stepmill, FTW!

Love that thing.

Stepmills rock, to bad people always get on who aren't fit enough to use them and hold on to the handle bars for dear life!

Cycling the country roads outside of town. Can make it HIIT or LISS. Lots of fun when the weather is nice.

I go clubbing sober every weekend and dance for hours. It's great fun

[LilRed03]

Playing a sport - football or soccer. Or sprints!

[jmccarthey]

I've recently gotten into taking spin classes....and I'm totally hooked! Otherwise, I run outside or do intervals on the eliptical machine.

[IronFigure]

Walking the dogs and hopscotch!


Cycling classes are the only thing that don't keep me watching the clock and usually keep me really winded seeing that I sing as loud as possible to every song while I cycle LOL
