Did you say pump? Did I hear pump? You are correct. It is short fom the awesome product from IronMag Labs. Maximum Pump. Pump. Pump. It is great, awesome, everything you could imagine.
So everytime you hear Pump in the gym, you know what they are talking about.

IMO, if you're working within your proper heart rate zone, it doesn't matter the type of cardio you do. I like to change mine constantly. My favorites are the Gauntlet (Stepmill) and good ole sprinting.

What a way to veer off topic . Anyway I personally use the stationary bike for most of my cardio, I usually use it for an hour and get a great workout. Try to find a cardio workout that is most comfortable for you.

I like to do HIIT (a workout usually takes me less than 10 minutes excluding stretching, warmup, and cooldown). I also like to do bike with varied resistance (self controlled) for around 20-25 minutes (excluding cooldown). I like the bike because I am never too tired to do it after lifting, which I can't say is always the same for running.

allright I'm gonna piggy back on this thread hope you dont mind.

I see the mention of stationary bikes above; is it possible to do HIIT on a bike? I mean in theory I'd say yes but is it as effective? In other words would you really get the work out you should be shooting for?

Well I don't know if I'd call it HIIT, but what I do is this:

My stationary bike at home has this self-adjusting resistance dial. I will turn the dial, either increase or decrease the resistance (typically by 2 or 4 steps), every 30-60 seconds. I am definately sweating way more and working way harder (keeping that heart rate up) when I do this. I seriously cannot believe I didn't start doing this earlier; definately a noticable change in increased intensity compared with standard "presets" or consistant resistance.

I've been doing this for about a year on and off. I cannot say for sure how effective it is, but I thought the point of cardio was to keep that heart rate up and make your body really work, which I believe this does better than the other methods I mentioned above (on a stationary bike).

So just answering your question ("would you really get the work out you should be shooting for?"), I believe yes.

for indoor cardio I use the semi-recumbant bike for both HIIT and Max-OT cardio. much better than using a traditional exercise bike
