what is your cardio workout routine?

Answer 1

I go for an hour run first thing in the morning, it really wakes you up and gets you energized for the rest of the day

Answer 2

I switch between walking and running on the treadmill always at an incline. I do this 30-45 minutes about 3-5 days a week. I also have a 3 year old so I am constantly running after him. Another thing is just everyday things we do such as cleaning. I have a fairly large home and I do all the cleaning. It takes about 3-4 hours on Sat so that is just a workout on it's own.

Answer 3

I usually do the bike for 15 minutes, 15 on the treadmill, and 15-20 on the elipitical machine. I am taking it slow, since I just started going to the gym again. If I don't feel like going to the gym, I like to walk to a nearby marina from my house, that equals about 3 miles. Cardio exercise will definitely give you a lot more energy and sleep a lot better.

Answer 4

A cardio/ workout routine depends upon what stage of my bodybuilding competition I am in :
1.During my MASS BUILDING STAGE ......I limit cardio to the minimum necessary to warm up for the weights periods. For me 15 mins of threadmill at average 7.5 kms/hr with peaks of 9kms per hour (for one minute) is enough. I do not want to run out of energy for the 1&half hours of weights Where I will be all out to max weights and low reps.

2.During the DEFINITION STAGE I will do up to 90 mins of cardio i.e. threadmill and static bicycle climbing my heart rate to 80% of (220-age). The workouts will then be low weights and high reps.

Remember that the diet varies with the 2 stages.

The supplements vary greatly as well.

Get the Weider magazines like Flex ....they will help you.

Good Luck.

Answer 5

i try changing it from time to time to keep going. i love walking , jogging,running up and down stairs, using gym machines e.g. treadill, elliptical, stationary bike,following a fitness video , as long as i get to do a moderate to intense workout for at least 30 minutes per workout. when i finish i feel proud of myself .

i suggest you try the gym , go visit a gym before joining or ask for a good personal trainer to see once a week just to do everything properly. walking, jogging, running up and downstairs don't cost a thing. if you have a a pc at home you can download vids from nikewomen.com from the workouts section, other sites include shape.com, fitnessmagazine.com , ivillage.com, and prevention.com. there are many good sites as well you can get some are funded by governments.
good luck!

Answer 6

After wieght training i run on the treadmil for about 45 minutes. I run at a moderate pace at an incline. On my off days, i run first thing in the morning. Youll burn the most here because at this point your body carb levels are at thier lowest.

Answer 7

Jumprope 20min 3x a week (let me tell you that i am in VERY good shape but jumproping continues to be the ONLY workout that really kicks my butt!)
powerwalk 1 hour 3x a week (only for winter, i run in the summer)

let me just remind you not to focus so much on cardio. it is super good for you but if you are looking to lose weight or even just get yourself to peak condition you should try weight training and improving your nutritional habits.

Answer 8

I get boared easily, so I have to change it up. Currently, I walk briskly for 45 minutes two to three days per week and twice a week I work out to a video at home (Tae-Bo gets my heart pumping best!).

Answer 9

I live in a cabin in Alaska. Chopping wood, carrying water, mending, moving, walking, running, hunting, fishing, etc. Get the picture?
More, dog sleding, skiing, skating, chopping more wood, lugging more water, now, bet you're beginning to understand.
Come on up here. It won't be a concern any longer.
