    I'd LOVE to sprint really well. My plan is to sprint for half min, run for 1, repeat. AND then build up to just sprint :)

    I'm not sure there is one, but I'll go with HIIT running. Or running up stairs/bleachers. Or maybe jumping jacks.

    In terms of calories burned (as per my HRM), spin class every time.

    my favorite cardio is full court, 5 on 5 basketball. Fun, and interactive HIIT when you hustle.

    I played 2-3 hours a night to lose weight when I was in grad school.

    Good one... Spin is my favourite as you can really push it and have a woman shouting at you to WORK lol.

    Skipping is another fave of mine but I only do it for around 15 mins as it becomes boring

    Agreed!
    That and stupid rock-star jumps and burpees. Both KILL ME.

    For me, has to be swimming. It's a great fat burner and it doesn't feel like you're killing yourself.

    BURPEES are the actual devil!
    I love squats/lunges though :)

    I actually never considered swimming (for some strange reason)
    I'm going to take that back up actually as it's so enjoyable

    Is that boxing (sorry i'm confused at 'mma') if it is, i'm thinking of trying that. Would you go for kick boxing or normal?

    MMA = Muay thai/kickboxing, jujitsu, wrestling etc.

    I did boxing for years and years...i was never so exhausted as when i grappled, did jujitsu etc. but kick boxing is also great for cardio, but whatever you do, you have to punish yourself

    swimming is also very good. Makes your heart pound!
