Hey John, I assume you having some motivation issues with cardio. That happens in all areas of training and diet. For cardio enhancement , consider these ideas/tips.

1. Stay with a basic , consistant realistic schedule. Far better to do a good 30-40 min 4 days week than a hit or miss plan.

2. Find the type or cardio machine you enjoy and stick with it. It is far better to do cardio you don't mind vs a "more effective" method you hate and won't stick with.

3. Try doing it first thing in morning or right after working out on an empty belly. This will be when the blood sugar is low and make it easier to get into the stored fat.

4. Use your favorite music or hit a gym with a good cardio theatre.

Good luck, Howard

Get off the treadmills, lifecycles and stair-climbers and do your cardio hiking, power-walking a hilly neighborhood, or a golf-course, climbing an outside stairway or riding a real bike. Much more enjoyable and just as effective.

Since the demand is higher than the supply of soldiers, they should be taking and keeping everyone.

Cardio is something "the gays" do.

leonp1981 · « **Reply #14 on:** May 09, 2007, 06:31:45 PM »

I'm a hardgainer, so I only used to do stationary bike x 40mins once an week, and 5x3min rounds on the punch bag once a week. It was only for general health and respiratory benefits really.

I now have a second job where I'm on my feet for 6-8 hours, so I use that as my cardio.

realkarateblackbelt · « **Reply #15 on:** May 09, 2007, 06:35:13 PM »

hahahaha Only in America is everyday walking considered cardio.

I am the same - i struggle to find time to do cardio - i am up at 7 each morning and into work, lift 5.30 - 6.30, home at 7, cook tea, eat it, 8 o clock, last thing i wanna do after a hard day is think about doin cardio at f ckin 10 o clock at night once my food has digested !! But i do think some is required for respiratory benefits - not for dieting though, i have dropped weight like a stone sine i started dieting, and with cardio aswell i think this might be too quick

It's a bitch but I really want to be ripped for my wedding, and as I have said in the other post I use the new Nautilus step walker what is hard but still walking, I cannot stand the fucking sprint bike or running for an hour.

Mat · « **Reply #23 on:** May 10, 2007, 02:52:29 AM »

I try and seperate it from my weight training - do short but really intense sessions. Normally about 5 times a week all year around.

Tombo · « **Reply #24 on:** May 10, 2007, 03:30:29 AM »
