    Rowing machine if I'm at the gym. I wish I could have one at home like this.
    At home, stationary bike. Lets me watch TV.

    Lots of votes for the stair climber, I tried that once & set it too high. I busted my *kitten* & fell off of it & I haven't gotten back on it since :laugh:

    Oh no! You just lived through one of my worst gym phobia's!!! I haven't even tried it yet, but it looks to get a lot of votes here...may have to conquer the fear after all.. :wink:

    The elliptical machine.

    Years ago I borke my jaw. I could do elliptical machine months before I could do any treadmill/running/etc, since it's no/low impact. It;s been my favorite by far ever since. Very easy on the knees/feet/body since it's no/low impact.

    I love doing HITT on the elliptical! Okay I hate cardio but when I do have to do it that is what I pick to do.

    None. They're all boring. Go outside and enjoy some fresh air while doing something that's actually fun.

    Sprints - so it's over fast.

    I take a "rip the bandaid" approach to cardio.

    Cross ramp and the rowing machine for me. starting to like the rowing more and more. HIIT can be fun on both.

    The outside, training inside a gym is boring as hel.

    If forced to choose, the rowing machine; combination of CV and resistance in one :)

    I do, but it's not practical for me to do it all the time because it's very hard on my joints. I do it twice a week, & steady state the other days unless I'm doing a very intense lifting day like legs. Then I just do my lifting & call it a day. Which is why I asked about steady state cardio machines.
