My cardio heads..

Do HIIT/intervals

This is basically the only type of Cardio I've done over the past 5 years.

I lost over 120 lbs in less than a year doing HIIT everyday on the threadmill.

Every day!?

From what weight to what weight?

From what weight to what weight?

Pretty much everyday, If I missed a day it was not intentional.

I started out at 320lbs. 200lbs or just under was my standard weight for a long time. I hover around 190lbs right now. Been as low as 173, but that was pure ignorance for a weightloss contest.


The everyday thing comes from a fear of gaining the weight back or missing out on a day of progress. Or missing an opportunity to reward myself with food, which is my 1st love

It's a mean psychosis to live with everyday.

Hawkeyes in the building.

I run outside when the weather is decent (every year I consider getting cold weather gear and keeping it going ... but then I imagine myself hitting the ice and getting injured/dying of embarrassment, so I don't do it).

Winter cardio is jump rope double unders (I just do a set of 30-50 between lifts or ab exercises), or the stair climbing thing.

Neither of you listing your "reppin" locatoin

Biking is better than running IMO, but with exercise bikes you have to really take care to set up resistance properly.

A good one with digital controls will let you ride to maintain a certain wattage. See what wattage corresponds with a ~70% max HR for you and go from there.

I disagree. I bike and run. I run all the time, and bike less cuz it's winter. but running is better cardio. I can bike without breaking a sweat. with cardio, I sweat like a pig even in the winter time running outside in temps below 30 degrees.

U must not be biking hard enough. U have to bike ~2-3x the speed u run to get the same kind of cardio results. Its a lot easier on your knees and studies have shown lower impact cardio like cycling and swimming coincide better with lifting. It has to be on a real bike though, not that stationary bullshyt. If it is on stationary, you have to be able to control your wattage.... spin bikes and bikes with no power control are worthless in the context of consistency.

I usually do my cardio by walking on the treadmill for an hour. I crank up the incline to 15.0 and start off with 3.0 speed. I increase the speed by 0.2 at 10-minute intervals. Believe me, by the time you're done doing this, you will be drenched in massive sweat.
