Most effective cardio

[GFR]

This is a non question....................running is the king of cardio..

Exactly.

The other thing that worries me about HIIT is the detrimental effect on the central nervous system. Nice way to burn out unless you're Type A+. Probably best to use it only on some days in combination with traditional lower-intensity work to avoid this and to optimize cardio.

Boring for sure, upside is that as you get better at it, it becomes easier and less gruelling, so the time goes by faster once your body becomes more efficient. Kind of get used to it.

Why Type A+? I am just that......

Cardio

Along with running I find Masterbating 10 times a day is my favorite cardio.

You need to expand your cardio to outside cardio. I find running outside much more beneficial then on a treadmill. I also find riding a real bike out int he hill country much better then any spin class or stationary bike. If you incorporate swimming in there then you have another great form of cardio. When I am doing my cardio and cutting I usually run outside for 6 to 10 miles in the mornings. Lift around noon to early afternoon. Either swim 2400 to 3200 meters at night or ride a bike 30 to 50 miles in rolling hills. You will be surpised how fast you lose all that nasty body fat like this.

Heres what i like to do....http://southfloridaracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=33835

That combined with running and jump rope is my usual cardio.

Running as fast as you possibly can, in a given amount of time or over a given distance.

hi-repitition kettlebell swings, snatches, or C+J's. Best cardio I've ever done.

 

[TDOGG]

I prefer the eliptical trainer set on intervals for my cardio for 45 minutes,

 

[pitbullhead]

A mix of all of them would definitely be the best option. Since your cardiovascular system adapts to whatever load you subject it to, you need to surprise it so to speak just like you would do with resistance training.

Wrestling practice was insane cardio thru school, kettleball classes are pretty intense too

 

[jakeluvspunk]

I think it's a mix, some people get bored of running on a treadmil. well unless you have a hot female to run next to.

Running wins hands down in my book. But stair master and elliptical are also good exercises. I feel biking encourages laziness(not calling bikers lazy) by allowing you to site down and just use your legs.

I just find it increadable that people are running on treadmills that use electricity(and go nowhere). Or ride bicycles that use electricity too and,that don't move. I mean WTF is going on in this world?

If you can arrange it use a bicycle to get to work (or run/walk), or there must be more other productive things than using a load of triped up electrical gear to get 'one's cardio'......

I sometimes go blacksmithing (forgework) one gets a bit of cardio and makes a nice bit of trinket at the end of the day too. I also walk- with my own two feet on solid earth...

Enough of this bloody bike riding to nowhere, or climbing stairs to nowhere, its all a complete load of shit.

 

[Brutus_G]

Lol i used to be like that till i found out i could read,play video games,go on line,and listen to music. I never waste this cardio time anymore.

Most cardio machines, with the exception of treadmills, are self powered.

Because running or biking outside is always practical for everyone

But I agree, if you don't live in a city, exercise outside is much more satisfying.

 

[DiGiTaL]

I dislikes the bikes. They take longer for me to even warm up, plus they are boring and frustrating.
I wont say i like running on a treadmill fun but I find it okay. I do it about 15 mins most times im working out and burn about 170 calories. Like that dude said (Forgot his username lol) i run for about 1:00 mins then sprint for about 0:30 secs and slow down just a little bit, then run again. I do this about 4-5 times, basically until my 15 minute's over.

Tae Bo is actually really good (to me anyways,) i did it once. I was so beat and sweaty and ya...you get my point. lol. I want to do more tae bo but im so cheap i dont want to buy it, i wanna try and find and download it lol.
