    How much cardio do you do?

    So how much cardio do you get in?

    What type?

    I've been on the elliptical with upper arm a bunch lately. I keep getting told to lay off the cardio. When I'm trying to get rid of the fat I seem to start doing to much cardio. Like 20 minutes worth after my routine, and 45 min. on off days.

    The 20 minutes after working out sounds like too much to me - but the 45 minutes on non workout days (or much later in the day) is what I do.

    I spin mostly, until I get sick of it and then might go back to the eliptical or something else.

    I have not done any cardio in at least 6 months. With an ace diet and good training I stay lean and don`t have to do cardio. I love working out but I hate doing cardio.

    Since it is not bike season, I have been doing somewhere between slim and none. Honestly, I want to get to my spinning classes (I really do), but I've been putting in some late hours and have not been out of work on time to make the only night time class. And I can not stand using a treadmill or stationary bike.

    Aside from Winter months, I ride my bike about 100 miles a week. Now that it's colder, I run or do the eliptical machine at the gym for 45 - 60 minutes every weekday before my workout, then I'm usually on my bike again anywhere from 4 to 10 hours on the weekend depending on the weather.

    Since I've started a regimented workout schedule I find I try and incorporate extra cardio in everything I do; walk or bike to the store rather than drive, park at the end of the lot at work, etc.

    I get a lot of exercise, and lately focus on cardio more. It's really starting to show results, and I'm happy about that. I'm looking lean and strong.

    Now, if I could only get a handle on my terrible diet ...

    I go to the gym 4 times a week, and I do cardio everytime I go. Of course I only run 1 mile each time because my knees can take only 1-2 miles per day.Then I walk one mile on a 10% incline on the treadmill.

    In the spring/summer I generally do 3 30 min sessions on the elliptical + 2-3 1.5 hr kickboxing classes + two 1 hr interval sessions of running up hills or stadium steps per week....unless I'm pre-comp, then I increase the elliptical sessions to 4 of 45 min.

    Right now though I'm just getting back into cardio and it's killing me :o
