Mixing up cardio?
I know the importance of cardio to shed the bodyfat! I feel like I’m getting tired of the "same old, same old " Running…not my thing. What do you think about mixing up the different machines in one workout session to get the 45 to 60 minute cardio workout instead of just one or two machines, i.e. tredmill, eliptical, stairclimber, etc. Any good suggestions? Thanks!

Actually switching up machines is one of the best ways of getting through what can be at times a very tedious cardio routine. Spending 10 to 15 minutes on an elliptical, 10 to 15 on a recumbent, 10 to 15 on the Stairmaster, 10 to 15 on an upright and 10 to 15 or more on a treadmill or what have you will more than likely give your mind a break as well as keep your body guessing as to what is in store for it next.
Whatever gets you through the session and keeps your heart rate where it needs to be is fine.

when i have to get my cardio up to one hour my favorite way is, 20 min stairmill, 20 min elipticial, and 20 min bike. i find it easier than an hour straight and supposedly you will burn more calories for longer doing this way. when it comes to cardio, "whatever it takes".

That training method sounds so much less monotonous than 45-60 on one cardio machine! Thanks
