2 dedicated cardio days in the gym - Monday and Wed

2.5 mile run
1 mile incline walk
15 mins on the stair machine
15 mins on the row machine
15 mins on the stepper
15 mins on elliptical
15 mins on bike

im a big guy so i need my cardiovascular conditioning to be on point...some of these I do on HIIT

outside the gym i do a little jumproping
I do 5km run (20-22min).

*Add sprints after the 5km run every other day.
Then 30 min on the spin bike.

Then 2KM on the row machine.


Cardio is similar to taking long cold showers, doing stomach vaccums etc .. Your physique just looks superior to other people, you're doing everything they are doing and everything they're not doing.

Also being fast is an inrecdible feeling :wow:

Do several arm curls when I use my remote.
I walk to and from: my car, bedroom, bathroom, and work office.
Do squats several times a week when using the bathroom or sitting down on the couch.
Do situps when getting out of bed.
Do lat pulls when closing my doors.
Do pushups occasionally when looking for something under the bed or nightstand.
Do calf raises when needing something on the top shelf.

That's it.
:salute:

I used to play rugby sevens, so I’m getting back into this kind of fitness. If the weather permits, this is the kind of running I like to do 3 days or so a week along with lifting 3 days and then doing yoga and Pilates twice or so. Keeps me going well and at a good weight.

Been doing elliptical again, set to weight loss. Seems to keep me in the fat burning zone according to my fitbit.

Mostly doing different variation of burpee AMRAP workouts. Works pretty good for me now.
