    This was an article I read earlier this year and have bookmarked. It's about steady state cardio vs. HIIT, but it really does a great job of explaining WHY both have important components in health and fitness.

    http://experiencelife.com/article/steady-state-cardio-vs-high-intensity-interval-training/

    Now, you might not need full cardio fitness for your goals, but I find it interesting when it talks about performance athletes being strong, but having no endurance...something that has been bantered about for years in the lifting vs. cardio crowd.

    Anywho...good read.

    I don't really like the treadmill or the elliptical either. Which is why i recently took up walking and running. Get's me out in the fresh air with an mp3 player and some great tunes. What's not to like? You really don't need to use the hamster machines XD

    Oh and i'm going to buy a bike and resolve to leave the car at home whenever possible.

    I like both, I enjoy circuit training that's aerobic and strength and toning as well, and I do love other cardio activities. Variety is good.

    I do hill sprints as cardio. I don't feel like I've worked out unless it's at very high intensity and I can think of nothing more boring than running at the same speed for endless miles (I used to do it, never again).
