I watch 5 minutes of Rachel Maddow and my heart rate goes through the roof for an hour, all the cardio I need.

What is c-a-r-d-i-o? (Sentence should be pronounced slowly as if I'm Mike Tyson trying to learn a new word and enunciate it properly.)

I agree. I cant. My lower back hurts from all the basketball I used to play. All the dunking did my back in. Plus have a torn left acl so NO cardio for me.

I find it beyond the slightest reasonable sense any normal person would listen to some sexually confused media puppet. That Rachel Maddow looks more male then most 10 year old boys. She (or better yet IT) is nothing but a smart ass with one short punctuated pun after another. People call that reporting news.....no wonder this country is slipping.

I use the elliptical as well. High resistance (level12 or higher) and steady speed around 6 MPH. I try.and run at least 3 miles which usually takes me around 27 28 min. It varies. Cuts off fat quick :D

Jump rope is the best cardio Ive found. IMO you can get more done in 5 min of rope than most people get with eqpt. Its easier on the knees too.

For all of you doing LISS cardio remember to keep this in an AEROBIC state and not an ANAEROBIC aka muscle burning

Think about counting your breaths while doing cardio

Each time weight is forced through the foot you should breath

Deep in and force fully out. GASP IN GASP IN. Blow out blow out. This will not only fix cramping and maybe even boredom but

I know a few of you guys will get a laugh out of the verbiage used in this post lulz

In all seriousness manny is correct.
I ride the stationary bike only. 90-100
RPM's at a tension where you are breathing
Hard and sweating but where your legs
Are not burning. You want to keep this
In an aerobic state. Not a muscle burning
State. I do this 35-45 min Max preferably
On an empty stomach.
My first gym when I started lifting had
A lot of guys who competed. I'd see these
Monsters on a little stationary bike
Doing cardio never anything else or
The stair master. I asked why not the stair
Master, wouldn't you burn more calories?
The answer was, no. All you want to do
For cardio is to get your heart rate up
For a prolonged period of time to kick
Up your metabolism. If you do stairs or the
Bike and your legs are burning then you
Are working out that muscle and that is
Not your purpose. Train your legs on your
Leg day.
The purpose of doing cardio on an empty
Stomach is, if you have just slept for 8
Hours you then have no food in your stomach
To use for fuel"energy " so your body
Will be forced to use stored fat as energy
Therefore you will burn your fat much
Quicker. I will do cardio and abs first thing
In the morning and then work out later in
The day.
