Hey everyone! I'm making a new fitness routine for August and I want to know what your favorite type of cardio to do it!
What machines do you like at the gym?
What do you do while on them (i.e. HIIT, time, resistance levels, etc).
Also, if you do strength training as well, what's your schedule like? (i.e. when do you do certain body parts, how many days a week, etc).
Okay so basically I'm just asking what your guys' workout routines are like.

Mon - Cardio (jump rope - usually for 40 minutes to an hour)
Tues - Strength training (session @ gym w/ trainer in the form of functional strength training using a blend of medicine ball, kettlebell, and dumbbell exercises) + 20 minutes cardio (jump rope)
Wed - Cardio (see Monday)
Thurs - Strength training (see Tuesday)
Fri - Cardio
On weekends I will do one day of strength training at home using medicine balls and a suspension trainer and another day of rest. Which day varies depending on how I feel.
Bear in mind that what constitutes a "rest day" for me still involved being somewhat active as I do have a VERY energetic dog who loves to play
Squats
Bench Press
Military Press
Rows
Chin ups
Push ups

I jump rope for 3 minutes at a time, HR does not get very high.
Tuesday-step & curcuit
Weds-spin
Thursday-Boxing class & circuit
Saturday-spin
I have to say that step class is my favorite! Gives me a great workout while having fun. I am relatively new to the exercise classes but am motivated to keep trying!!
I also love squats and lunges. :-)
Those sound like great classes! I love the spin classes at my gym and am considering a kickboxing class(:
Cardio I can do elsewhere, for free, and have more fun doing it.
So FWIW, favorite cardio in no particular order is mountain biking, road biking, running, trail running basketball, raquetball... there's probably more but I doubt most of that is what you are looking for.
...Just sayin'.
Monday - compound lifts
Tuesday - zumba
Wednesday - isolate exercises
Thursday - zumba
Friday - rest
Saturday - compound lifts
Sunday - kickboxing
