i treat it more like lactic acid threshold training.

Personally, I consider nookie to be active recovery.

I do an intense heavy bag workout twice a week right now but that's about it for cardio right now.

I do bag work once to twice a week, but mostly my cardio is done in spinning class or on the eliptical. During the summer I try to swim too. I like having these couple of different ways of getting a good cardio workout so I can adjust to my ever-changing schedule. And none of them are too hard on me like running has become. I do my cardio after my weight workout.

20 min HIIT sprints 2x week
30 min elliptical 1x week
20 min rower 1x week

Here's what I usually do. I usually walk to & from the gym, anywhere from 6 -8 miles roundtrip depending on the route. Lift when there, about 3-4 days per week. 2-4 days per week I do official "cardio" ie elliptical via HIIT. Total cardio probably 5-6 days per week. I've been feeling exhausted doing it so I think I'll cut down.

If I had to walk that far to the gym I would never have enough energy for a good lifting workout. How do you find the energy to make it back home?

No joke, I was thinking the same thing. Going there I can see, it's the going home that would suck bad.

And how do you find the time? That sounds like around a 3 hour adventure everyday - wow.

Ive been doing wayyyy too much cardio for the past few years. Lately it has been 5 days a week for 45-60 minutes either high intesity intervals or moderate intensity steady state. And for what???!! Not sure why other than out of HABIT or GUILT for my poor eating habits? LOL
Starting a new strength training program next week to increase lifts. I will undoubtedly be cutting way back on the cardio but i refuse to do less than 3x/week for 30 min each time. Let's cross our fingers that i dont gain alot of fat
