I wanna hear all the different ways you people are doing your cardio. It seems like everybody who loses weight does a lot of it. Apparently I'm gonna HAVE to do it to move the scale. I'm sure your not just jumping rope and jogging 5 times a week. I wanna know, if you would be so kind, what your cardio routine is? What else do you do besides jog?

    Actually, my entire cardio routine consists of running. I bike when I'm injured (hate that).

    Elliptical for 30-60 minutes depending on energy level and how much weight lifting I plan to do.

    I walk on the treadmill or go on the recumbent bike for usually 10 minutes also for a cool down.

    Jillian Micheal's workouts. It's circut training! cardio and strength training together. I also run - a lot. I'm training for a half marathon. So...yeah, a lot.

    Oh! Intervals! Intervals are good workouts too. Basically a timed sprint followed by a timed jog, repeat until exhausted :wink:

    20 minutes of HIIT 3x/week.

    Plus the occasional odd run or bike ride, but I try not to overdo it.

    20 minutes on the elliptical, 40 minutes on the treadmill, one hour lifting weights. I've been doing this routine pretty much since I started.

    Running. I started with C25K, now I'm training for a 10k, then I'll be training for a half marathon. Keep in mind that strength training definitely has it's place, too. I lift heavy twice a week and also do yoga twice a week. And yes, I double some of these activities up.

    4 minute workout!

    20sec of squat thrusts
    10sec of rest
    20sec of mountain climber
    10sec of res
    20sec of knee highs
    10sec of rest
    20sec jumping jack
    10sec of rest

    Repeat.

    I hate cardio and this is tough but it is quick and replaces a 40-60 min job!
