Best Form of Cardio Exercise?

[Yates]

What would you say it is?

I do a bit of swimming i know its good but i do get bored of it, i do alot of cycling on bike and spinning classes. i play alot of football.

Just wouldnt mind trying something else, or concentrate more on the best form of exercise, im in pretty good shape just wouldnt mind gettin fitter for football

Rowing?

[Yates]

[RuMMy]

rowing machine is by far the best i've used. You can really feel it :shock:

[Barry123]

Rowing machine is ace... builds up my puny musules and gets the old ticker going.

Running
Cross Trainer

[benreader]

[Yates]

[Barry123]

never touched the cross trainer, dont like the look of it lol

yeah does look a bit :homo:
but i LOVE it. also all the birds tend to be on them as well :cool:

[RuMMy]

i nearly fell of it when i went on. :ouch: never going near the bloody thing again, deathtrap!!!!!

[bullit]

yeah rowing and punchbag. youll be sweating then

[PinguFurio]

intensive running has been proven to be the best along with rowing. [i row cant be arssed with all the running crap] lol

[WestyVTR]

the cross trainer & rower are great forms of cardio exercise although it depends on your goals if your looking to improve stamina, recovery rate, speed etc etc! for football running & rowing are best. Skipping is also very good! :A:

Join a local boxing club if possible, most operate circuit style training at least twice a week followed by bag work/sparring. This will kick your ass if you put the effort in.

[gotamintvtr]

cross trainer is the best form of exercise mate as it puts no stress on any of the joints unlike running. i do quite a bit of kickboxing and its very good for fitness. do some skipping and go on punch bags for 10minutes and see how hard it is. i find punching a heavy bag is the best thing for me and being able to punch is always a good thing in this world

[gotamintvtr]

never see stuarts post. i totaly agree with that mate. nothing better thn some sparring and circuit training i do it all at kickboxing ant it kills. i got twice aweek along with a run every other night and skipping at home

Dont blame you! When i was 14 at school i got my arm mangled in one messing about lol... i never went within a meter of the thing again :oops:

[gotamintvtr]

lol how did you get your arm caught up in it?

[saxodan]

lol how did you get your arm caught up in it?
lol it was placed to close to a stepping machine so i was chatting to the guy on the cross trainer who thought it was fun to go at 3 million miles an hour then i rested my hand on the bar and somehow got it caught between the stepper and the cross trainer, my god it hurt and i spent the rest of the day at a & e being x-rayed... but i did miss a week of school, get in :Y:

[gotamintvtr]

well it was all worth it then. i would of needed more than just a week off lol.

[Yates]

I fancy trying boxercise, only problem is that they gym where i go to there is alot of pikies and they all do it, and i cant b arsed doing it in the same class as them!

Anyone do body pump? tempted to try it

Going to start boxing, well at least the training side of it when i get in the navy

[gotamintvtr]

id start before the navy lol some of the blokes in the army and athat are mad already be good to have a it of a background. ive never tried body pump think its similar thig tho am i right? anythings worth a try mate

[Yates]

u do weights to music, not heavy weights, just quite light, but say its dumbell curls, well you do that for the whole song, its not to get you bigger, just more in shape

as i say i just fancy the fitness part of the boxing and not the actual fighting

[willsy]

In all seriousness, Sex is supposed to be the best all over body workout, of course its a full session and not just a quick one.

Boxercise is mental, you'll be aching so much after that, i tried it a few weeks ago and cudnt drive the day after.

[Yates]

yeah i know about sex, just having a rough time with the gf lol

im pretty fit and after the hardest of footy training or gym sessions i am hardly ever sore or aching lol

[gotamintvtr]

i just do kickboxing for the fitness and so that if ever need anything ive got it there. i dont go do competitions and that
