I love doing either jumping jacks or jump rope between sets and if its a few sets, I go longer on the jj/jr to make out to about 15 mins a day. Otherwise running is nice and biking but I hardly have time so I like to fit cardio in so I dont notice it0

bit of running on the treadmill (can only manage 25 minutes before the boredom sets in) sometimes a bit on the rowing machine but not done that ages.
HIIT training, ususally two Les Mills Grit Classes per week and 2 Kettlebell Classes per week....0 -
play football (soccer)
volume box jumps
sled drags / prowler push
sprints
jump rope0 -
I have ran on the treadmill for years and now I run around a lake by my home and find it a lot tougher, the sweat is pouring off me when I come home. Love it, working up to a 5k pb. Also Zumba is just great to mix up your exercise regime. A good variety is the key .0

Just Dance 2014! I love running too, but that's been limited thanks to winter. Volleyball. Love weightlifting so much more than all those things though0

Yes I just feel better in general with cardio incorporated with my weight training regime. I love variety! I try and change it up all the time, spin bike, treadmill, elliptical, rowing machine, tabata, hiit. Hitt or tabata workouts I create my own -the possiblities can be endless with any variety of exercises.0

I play netball once or twice a week depending on whether we have a match or not. I lift too, an adaptation of SL 5x5 and 36 minutes of cardio (12 minutes each on treadmill, XT and step machine) each gym session. 12-15 minutes is about my maximum before I get bored of that machine so I like to switch it up. I also do body pump and tabata once or twice a week so I hope I am getting enough different types of exercise in to keep me overall pretty healthy!0

I joined a team sport... ROLLER DERBY! I am held accountable to a team of women who keep me motivated to stay fit. It's an amazing workout and great stress reliever!0

I discovered Fitness Blender through MFP a few months ago and I love it -- tons of free cardio, strength training, toning, stretching videos. I run occasionally, but I find the Fitness Blender videos way more interesting. Plus then I can turn on the A/C.
Anyone know any good YouTube Zumba/dance videos?0 -
I enjoy hiking out here in the desert boonies...the terrain varies from very sandy, to very rocky and everything in between.
I also use my recumbent bike when I'm unable to hike..
Strength training is a combination of kettle-bells and dumbbells. Depending on what routine I'm doing, my strength training routine doubles as a cardio workout..which is helpful if I'm being lazy on any particular day or haven't hiked as far as I wanted to.0 -
I walk a lot and use the stationary bike at the gym a couple times a week.0

I bicycle and walk everywhere, usually adds up to an hour or two a day. Running is stress relief for me - I don't do it a lot but when I'm upset a 30 minute jog works wonders. Plus a lot of fun activities are cardio... hiking, dancing, martial arts, etc.0

I was a ZUMBA! fan, but now I don't feel like paying for the classes. I'm currently running with a friend 3-4 times/ wk, and we're challenging ourselves to improve our 3 mile time! It is so much better with a buddy.0

I do Crossfit for my cardio and lift in the gym. I also swim, hike, run, and walk. I don't do machines. I like classes like sports conditioning and other interval training types of things.0

everytime i go to gym im doing 5 mins warm up on elliptical or stationery bike, then weights after that cardio again for 10-15 mins. either its treadmill or bike, but lately i like doing HIIT on treadmill. it has more kicks and makes me sweat more.0

I warm up on the treadmill doing HIIT - 15 sec sprint, 45 sec, walk x 10-15 sets. It seems to keep me interested and I forget about time other than getting to that next 45 sec rest. I'll be increasing my sprint/walk intervals as my cardio improves but right now I walk at 4 mph and sprint at 7.5-8 mph. Hope that helps!0

I'm a Zumba and yoga instructor, so I get all the cardio I need teaching those classes. I especially like aqua zumba for cardio because you get strength training from the water resistance - at least the students do. i get only cardio because I teach from the edge of the pool.
I go to the gym for weights only.0
