favorite form of cardio

stairs, the real ones, not the climber

As soon as I read the thread title I thought "sex" too. Sounds like the women of elite enjoy that cardio workout!

I love hiking in the summer. I love being outside surrounded by lovely views. If I can't do that I love going for looong walks or doing sprint intervals. If I'm inside I do eliptical...but honestly, I'd choose outdoor cardio any way (well, except when it's like a zillion below).

Aerobics! (of course)

hi-lo- on the floor is my fav, we get jammin & flying around the room, lotta fun!
I also like rollerblading & sprint intervals.

Boxing is awesome too... but I know it's more anaerobic intervals, we run sprints too in the circuit class, so I sorta count it as cardio.

Out dancing to disco is some awesome cardio too!

Anything but biking, ick!

running like a horse
giddyup!

Me too! When I'm running my intervals, I'll be pretending I'm a certain horse running a certain race, like Secretariat running the Kentucky Derby. I do different horses and races. I even imagine the race announcer, the roar of the crowd - everything! It's such a rush. It sends chills down my spine. I wanted to be a horse when I grew up (but I didn't have the genetics ) - so this is the next best thing.

I would have to say that my most recent cardio exercises have been on the revolving stair master.... Walking up actual moving stairs at a medium to fast pace really kicks my ass !!

The other day when I finished, a girl came up to me and said, "You look like you just ran a marathon!"

I have a love-hate relationship with those stairs...

It's called a StepMill, JLo, and it was my only reason for being for a few months.

After mastering long-distance running I was looking for a new challenge and the StepMill was IT! Oh GOD I love that thing. I used to get all giddy just thinking about it.....

Although I have been phasing cardio out of my workouts so I can concentrate on bulking, I rotate between the Elliptical, StepMill, and the treadmill for my 3 weekly sessions.

StepMill - glad I know that now....LOL - I've been describing it everytime I tell someone about it..."That thing with the steps that move...."

StepMill - yea, my new best friend !! I love to sweat and soak the machine !! That lets me know that I did something. I usually sprint a mile on the treadmill afterwards... i know those people there think i'm obsessed....

What pisses me off is that they probably think, "Hmph ! I'm sure I'd look like that if I worked out that hard too !"

sex is my fav...

LOL....too true, best indoor cardio there is!!

I am an aerobics instructor, which I love to do...best possible replacement to gymnastics.

Otherwise, anything outside.....I live in Wisconsin, so you have to take advantage of the good weather when it is here..I have a new puppy Ernie, we go running almost every night. Otherwise, I love to bike and rollerblade!
