It really doesn't matter what you do for cardio.. just as long as you're getting that pulse Up..
Just don't do the same shit all the time..

This is some real insight...
Look at your pulse at the Start...
And keep an eye on it..at the peak of the exercise..
The Real Test..is how Fast it returns to normal level after the exercise..
So if you're at..say 100..at the Start..
Gets to 135 or whatever..
Once you're done and reduce to the Start level...
How Long does it take to return to 100..??

3 seasons out of the year we go for daily 1-hour walks with the dog. (Hilly trails, etc).
A good workout...
This time of year, Ive just been doing TUE and THU but the sessions (for me) are very hard.
Much harder than normal "treadmill or bike" stuff.

Mainly, four 5-minute rounds of nonstop stuff, like:

Airdyne - 1 min
Farmers walk - 1 min
Airdyne - 1 min
Backward sled - 1 min
Airdyne - 1 min

I repeat it 3 more times for 20 mins. (Then I go do some basic bike or treadmill for 10 more mins).
But that interval crap above for the 5-min rounds, kills me. (Slowly getting better at it)..

Get Shredded!
The Trick...
Is finding something you enjoy..
Even if it's on the Treadmill behind a Hot Ass Chic..
Constantly.. Gradually improving..
Cardio 3x a week is all I need to get my Markers in range.. That and eating Clean..

It's like Taboo for BB's...
But at an Older age.. It will add Years too your Life.. Period..!!
