Cardio For Females
The background:
My girlfriend wants to start varying her cardio. Currently she's on a fullbody workout two (2) to three (3) times per week and is doing a moderately paced long cardio session (30-40 mins) once a week and a HIIT (currently 30s on - 30 s off for up to 5 mins) session once per week.
The issue:
She's got DD breasts, and apparently, the sports bras don't really work properly, or so she claims, and about the only thing she can come up with for cardio is lower impact things, viz; bike riding, rowing, or those dodgy ski elliptical machine thingos.
The question:
To keep her from complete and utter boredom - wtf else is there in the lower impact variety of cardio? What do the rest of the girls do on this site for cardio and does it hurt as much as she claims?
(Feel free to flame me all you want - but it's a serious question)____________________________________________

To be honest I think half of her issues are in her mind. But until I grow breasts and start jumping around I'll never really know for sure.

Ah - I've always called those things doggy paddle machines - because you look like you're a 3 yr old doing doggy paddle in the pool when using them the way your arms move around. Originally Posted by P-funk

Good call. Rowing is great. Originally Posted by Bakerboy
