I'm just now getting back into cardio after 8 months of not doing it. I run about a mile after I go to the gym. Are the gym bikes any good?

i ride with the the level 19 interval hill setting..i see people use no resistance and im like:dwillhuh:..im not a gym head by any means but unless your elderly, you gotta put some difficulty on that

shyt pushes me and even though i do stop and start again quite a bit, i feel its worth it for the 10 minutes i actually ride it

im not riding a gym bike for 30 minutes...i just dont have the attention span:francis:

im not saying its not difficult and i dont stop for a bit, but i get more accomplished imo..

find your max resistance and go for it..

you can always pause if you get tired and come back to it..:yeshrug:

my legs are weigh stronger than my upper body:snoop:

I mix my cardio up. Yesterday and today I ran 5 miles each day. I try to run 5 miles once a week but some weeks it doesn't work out.

I try to get in at least one day of full court basketball a week. Usually two days a week.

I also try to mix in a day or two of insanity.

Yea swimming legit as shyt.

I just swim at my gym,it has an Olympic size pool.

But that's solid cardio you doing already real talk.

I'm investing in a bike next summer,can't wait
Biking is fun as hell. Just gotta be careful, pick the right roads to ride on. I am growing to HATE riding indoors :sadcam:

I have loads that I rotate;

500m row sprints resting 1 min - you gotta work up to this. start with 2mins rest. I'll usually do 8 total rows
200m rowing machine sprints with a 1-2min rest x10-15 total sprints

Wattbike or spin bike - 45 sec sprint as fast as you possibly can, then active rest for 3min45sec. One 4min round = 1 rep, do 6-10 in total
Spin bike; 10mins on 45sec sprint + 15 sec slow, then 10mins 30 sec sprint + 30sec slow recovery

I have one I do once or twice a week, just depends. It's basically a barbell complex of; deadlift + hang clean + half/jump squat + push press + romanian deadlift + row, then 3mins of hard cardio(for example, if I do rowing, I'll do 750m as fast as I can). You can use skipping or cycling. If you cycle, you to get 2km as fast as you can. The complex + cardio is 1 set, and I do between 4 and 6 sets per session with just 40kg. 40kg is plenty, it's more about getting through the work. It's hard to explain, but this last one always gets me super fit, without necessarily losing weight/muscle like if I just ran myself into shape.

These are all workouts I used to do playing rugby 7s. That's the best shape, that I've ever been in.

At the moment :
Mornings, 20 min or 40min HIIT on the bike, depending on what I can be bothered to do
1hr on incline 15% 5 days a week... keep in mind I work in IT, the only time I stand up is to piss :skip:

Trying to get more in with the rope, I kind of do it whenever Im sitting around with not much to do and remember that I have one :bryan:

Gotta try this.

For me battle ropes, 100m and 200m sprints, and now hill sprints
