What cardio do you do?

[akhusker]

So I am wanting to do a few different cardio routines and am curious what everyone else does. Since I am in the Army I need to run (sometimes) I have a record PT test once a year and my time has come so I need to start running again, but usually I just walk on an 11 incline at 3.0 to 3.5 for 30-45 min. So what do you do?

[PAiN]

Stair climber, swimming, and jump roping for atleast an hour. No less than 3 times a week. Since I am cutting again I am up to 6 days a week. Sometimes I will just do the stair climber or add in a combination of all 3.

If I were you bro I would add them in.

Stair climber...best bang for the buck

I would love to, right now where I work all we have are 2 treadmills and when I'm home on my R and R my gym doesn't have stair climbers, I can't believe it either but we do have a pool, I never thought to jump rope, I did it back in the day during wrestling though, I will give them a shot, thanks!

Treadmill at an incline

[revtons]

Treadmill to bike to eliptical machine. 5 min on tred move to bike 5 min there move to elip and 5 min. Repeat for an hour or however long

[bhcolex50x]

on cardio only days i go non stop for 45min+ of stair climber, abs, incline treadmill, bike with resistance, elliptical with resistance. i just switch it up on cardio only days. butttt i generally do 15-25min of cardio after lifting on lift days as well and since I'm already warm i usually do incline treamil or elliptical if my knees or sore. i will b following this for more ideas :) ps everything I've stated I've been doing nothing but cut cycles... I'm up 25lbs... down 6%bf :)

Anybody ever do 30/60's? Sprinting all out for 30 seconds and then resting for 60, we had to do those in basic and they wrecked me!

[musclebrain]

stair climber twice a week for a half hour and treadmill twice a week in the am 2 days a week for a half hour to an hour depending on my goals

[Bigzach1234]

Diet... First.. Cardio.. Treadmill.. Add another day or extra fifteen min every two weeks

They are very good. They also keep your metabolism elevated alot longer after you're through exercising as well.

I do incline treadmill low intensity too

[redcrane]

Uphill cycling works very well and is very intense.

This sounds good, I would like to try this

[rollinonsumdubbs]

incline treadmill or elliptical

[akhusker]

The nice thing about living near mountains is that climbing a mountain is very intense and kills calories, went for a climb yesterday and was beat!

[deathdodger]

I run a few miles every morning.

[bdeljoose]

I use an elliptical. I have a bad back that flares up when I run.

[berniec]

30 min on the stair climber 3x week

[ftwpin]

Plyos 3x a week. 5x25 jump squats, 5x30 secs of high knees, 5x25 burpees, and 5x25 single leg jumps. 30 seconds of rest between every set.

Incline treadmill or swimming (having a pool is nice). Sometimes elliptical if my knee is bothering me (old tear in my patella acts up sometimes).

[cellmasss]

5am cardio on stairs.

[muzlehead]

HIIT! best bang for your buck. You can do these on anything. I prefer stairmaster, 1 min as fast as possible, then 1-2 min "active rest" pace.

[vw4334]

metabolic cardio is best with low intensity longer periods every day split sessions

[VictorZ06]

Daily swimmer here, every morning at 6am.
