Should you switch up your cardio routine?

If so how often?? If a different kind of cardio makes you sweat less and feel less out of breath, does that mean its not as efficient?

    If by not as efficient you mean not burning as many calories. The more out of breath you are, the more oxygen your muscles are demanding and generally this means you are burning more calories.

    You don't necessarily have to switch it up, but as you get fitter you should gradually increase the workload, for example on a treadmill you could increase the speed or incline slightly every couple of weeks. You will get fitter and be able to burn more calories per minute.
