98% of statistics are made up on the spot.......0 -
I do Zumba, Piloxing, spinning, and I also do weight training as well. I think that in order to lose you need a well rounded work out routine and cardio is a part of it. I always switch up every few months and try new stuff!! Oh I also do step aerobics!0

I walk or bike to work which is a little over a mile each way.
I warm up 5 minutes on whatever machine I feel like before I stretch and lift weights.
That's about it.0 -
I'M LOVING ALL THESE RESPONSES, THIS IS GREAT INFO, THANK YOU!0

My preferred method is HIIT
My treadmill, jump rope and airclimber is all i need...
I lost 45 pounds just jogging and toned up great, scale will move with good nutrition. Keep huffing and pufffing...0 -
Running, when I can, but usually Zumba or Vinyasa Yoga. JM stuff, too.
Some people say yoga can't be cardio, but doing "intervals" of different types of sun salutations definitely gets my heart rate up. ;D0 -
I'm thinking my nickname should be the tortoise. I briskly walk my border collie for 80 minutes twice a week and use the ellipitical for 30 minutes once a week amongst other exercises. Currently limited for the next two weeks to slow walking for all exercise due to a minor surgery . However, I still intend to lose a pound in two weeks, eating right and walking slowly a lot.0

Interval Running (fartlek) and racquetball0

INSANITY!!!!!0
-
I bike about 20-25mins everyday, walk on the treadmill for about 20-25mins 4 days a week, and use the elliptical 2 days a week. i've heard that strength training actually helps you lose weight faster then cardio because it gets your whole body moving rather then just a certain area of the body like legs or arms0

i am just completing my first round of insanity! those workouts are intense interval-style routines. lots of plyo as well.
besides my usual insanity workouts, i run (sometimes for an hour or more, sometimes just a quick 20 minute pass around my neighbourhood) and play badminton. i ride my bike when i can, and i walk (fast!) almost everywhere.0 -
If you wanna lose weight running is not going to cut it. In fact most cardio machines will not make the bulge budge one little bit.
Mixing weights with cardio is the only solution but if you do one type everyday your body builds a resistance to it and doesn't start burning fat.
RPM (45 minutes of interval bike riding) class, pump class, zumba etc are great to mix with a circuit training of weights/rowing machine/jump rope.
Every time you do weights (not just the kind of tricep bicep weights you may think of, but step ups with weights/chin ups/push ups/situps with weights/lunges and squats) you rapidly burn fat on and under the muscle but aiming at one area wont burn fat, you have to aim all over fat burn.
If you do spend the bulk of your weights on your biggest muscle areas i.e legs/back/glutes then it will in turn burn from your stomach and put in motion all over fat loss
Your best bet is to join a gym and get personally trained, they will push you harder than you will ever push yourself
Protein is also great for fat loss. Protein and veggies is what my personal trainer said if you want rapid fat loss that stays off.0 -
I don't do any cardio. I just do full body routines 3x a week and have 4 days off.
Losing weight/burning fat is 95% diet and 5% exercise.
so I guess it depends if you just want to drop pounds or build your cardiovascular health and stamina as well0 -

Well if you're only looking to be a tired, skinny, mushy couch potato that may be true, however . . . I'd say if you were interested in feeling and looking strong and healthy you might want to skew your ratio to include a little bit more exercise . . .0 -
power walking, elliptical, 30ds0
