Reply With QuoteFor a start, if in play you're only doing short shifts with quick bursts of high intensity activity, why are you getting on the bike for 20 minutes?
Train for what you want to get better at. If you want to get better at performing short bursts of activity, train short bursts like interval training and some plyometrics or something.
This will help your CV fitness no end, and will take about 6-10 minutes maximum.

Currently cutting but my cardio blows (w/floor hockey) . Should I be concerned?
Hey guys,
I am currently cutting right now things are going good I dont need help with that however I am concerned with my cardio
The gym I go to has floor hockey every Monday....now I do not go every monday but maybe once every two weeks.....? maybe
Anyways I am doing 0 cardio basically I may do 15-20 minutes on the bike once or twice a week...twice if im feeling crazy
The point that I am trying to get at is when I play floor hockey I can maybe only last 3-4 maybe 5 minute shifts if that......Like It is quite a bit of stopping and starting and short distance running....after those 3 shifts or so I am just cachhhhhed...I feel like I ran a marathon...my heart rate is extremely high (or so it feels havent checked) and a huge shortness in breath and I just almost feel nauxious......I drink water recoup and then im fine I have no problem lifting or anything
Do you think while I am cutting that my cardio is so bad I should improve it?? I do NOT want to loose muscle during the cut but I think my cardio is so bad right now ((As I never did cardio either before cutting and when I was bulking I was actually smoking quite a bit [reefer])) ...so it is prob the smoking or maybe something else really random?
Should I be concerned at all or just keep going the way im going I honestly dont care but when I play floor hockey and am done after 3 shifts...go drink water, hit the hot tub/steam room get dressed and leave I still see people who are almost obese still playing and I was straight done ages ages ago...doesnt make me feel good even though I am in good physical shape...any ideas?Too LEgit to QUit

I don't do short bursts of the floor hockey and then 20 minutes on the bike
I mearly mentioned the 20 minutes on the bike to let you know of any cardio I've been doing in the last year....because I work at a desk job I don't do much for cardio at all...
BUt thanks for the quick post....my main concern is being so bad at cardio and running shortness of breath just from a couple shifts of floor hockey...
But i feel good, body has been responding well to the cut I start a couple weeks ago and the intense lifting so no complaintsToo LEgit to QUit

No, you misunderstand me, what i mean is - if you want to get better at floor hockey and improve your cardiovascular fitness for that type of exercise (short intense bursts followed by lower intensity) you need to train for it.

It would be like a marathon runner training for sprints - yeah he'll get better at sprints, but he's a MARATHON runner and not a sprinter, so when he tries to run a marathon he isn't trained for that sort of cardio.
If you want to be in shape and have good fitness for short bursts of intense activity, thats what you need to train to do. You don't run for 20 minutes straight in a game, do you? So you why train your body to be good at that?http://www.getlifting.info
