Cardio: Basketball vs Treadmills/Bikes etc...
Question for the veteran workout pro's out here. I really hate running on those eliptical (sp?) machines and all that other garbage. I really enjoy playing basketball though. At my gym, we usually have some very intense games and I always work up one hell of a sweat. My heart rate usually is up there as well.
If I were to play a half hour of b'ball, would that be sufficient each day for my cardio? I also lift for 45 minutes each day as well prior the b'ball.
Thanks,
Eric

basketball is an awesome workout, especially if it is full court. Play basketball for your cardio if the others are boring, 2 pickup games should suffice for a good cardio session. Back in school we would play forever, sometimes 3 straight hours of games if we kept winning. I never got more ripped and cut up then when i played ball 3-4 times a week.
