Dude swimming and running are the best cardio exercises you can do because they are really fully body workouts!!!

drxmn · 07-30-2011

I can think of a few other forms of cardio lol

**TheGilmore** · 07-31-2011

I like doing sprints with HIIT for 20 minutes.

Or doing the Kenpo X on P90x when I feel like mixing it up/punching the air.

I love hiit too bad I can't do it often

benny2510 · 08-03-2011

I have a pretty nice sized hill next to my house. I sometimes do sprints up it if I am crunched for time or don't feel like hitting the gym.

antrooney · 08-04-2011

I like walking through my city,small town.

**TheGilmore** · 08-04-2011

I think I'm going to start adding in cardio again for my cut. Give me something to do on my off days.

**laneanders** · 08-04-2011

Best cardio I've ever done are max effort HIIT hill sprints. 15-20 minutes of this 3 days per week and you will have destroyed so many calories it is ridiculous.

I wish Phoenix had hills. :/

HIIT in the hills?,man that sounds dangerous

**Tyler44** · 08-13-2011

My favorite forms of cardio are elliptical because its easy on the joints, mountain biking and walking in the woods. I'll often grab my shotgun and just go walking trails deep into the woods for a couple hours. Maybe shoot a coyote or two

Not dangerous lol. I would wake up and do them in a fasted state pre-breakfast, usually with nothing but BCAAs in me. It was a great way to work up an appetite, I was always ravenous when I finished. Fixed that with 6 eggs, 8 pieces of turkey bacon, 2 whole wheat toast, and a raspberry/blueberry/pomegranate protein shake. RAWR.

I like the elliptical, typically if I do any cardio in the gym it will be on a bicycle though. I also do some biking for fun in the mountain trails, and I sometimes ride my bicycle to work/school depending on the weather (heat).

I spent over 6 years boxing, and I became best friends with the jump rope as well. Also some box jumping is very nice, I often superset them with squats or SLDL. Very nice cardio/weight lifting combination there.

Or going outside in Phoenix for any length of time.

lputnam · 08-15-2011

I'm a big fan of sprints,used to do track and field back in high school,that might be why

verlanderize · 08-17-2011

I do Tabata training

antrooney · 08-17-2011

I think HIIT or Tabata training is good but is not tailored for everyone.just my 2 cents

puertoricanpower · 08-17-2011

the best cardio it is jump rope guarantee

riemer · 08-17-2011

I just punch an everlast punching bag and consider that cardio

**Younglifter16** · 08-17-2011

I do HIIT sprints on an elliptical, very smooth on the joints and easy to transition from interval to interval. Also do the stairmaster for a few, and incline treadmill for some slow paced cardio before workouts. Gotta keep the heart healthy too.

meeka · 07-20-2012

There are plenty of exercises in the cardio but mine best is rope jumping and swimming.These exercises makes me active,sharp and fit.Its also helps to burn my fat and reduce my weight.
