What's Your Favorite Cardio?

[redsquirrel]

I'm lucky if I get in 2 sessions of 20 min!!! What kills me is I never do cardio @ the gym...so of course when I get home, I never feel like hopping on the treadmill....

at the gym my favorite is the Stairmaster! At home it's taking long walks outside. My daughter who is 3 will walk about a mile with me then gets into the stroller. She loves to walk a mile, she thinks its so cool. :)

Nobody goes good old fashioned jogging? I like to go for a run with my mp3 player and my dog. But I can't do it when it's freezing like it is out right now in NJ.

try a spin class - i have a heart rate monitor and try and stay aerobic so that i dont burn muscle mass and only fat. this is a great cardio workout - if you dont have time to commit for a whole class, jump on a spin bike and do 20 mins. try and stay in your target heart rate and you will see great results! if you do want to go anaerobic, try and only do spurts so that you are not burning any valuable muscle!!!
btw - eliptical is also kick ass!

One rule of thumb pertaining to this issue:

If you are like me, and eat your 4th meal right before gym time, you will NOT run the risk of burning muscle since you just fed you body nutrients. If you really want to burn fat, do cardio in the morning on an empty stomach.
