I do (or did before this shut-down) exclusively HIIT on the treadmill for cardio days. I miss running outside but it's too tough on my knees and I have a hard time pacing myself so that's out and I can't swim. Elliptical I never cared for and while I have access to both a regular and stationary bike at home, neither will jack up my pulse rate high enough due to medication keeping it low. Doing interval training not only gave my a good workout, but torched the calories much better than a steady pace run would.

That along with not being able to only do the most basic of muscle maintenance with my limited weight set has really messed up my body these past two months and really brought my mood down to the point there are days I don't even feel like taking a walk outside.

I like outdoors the most but will do the treadmill. The incline not crazy high but enough to get that heart rate going. When the gym was open I would start out walking outside on the trails then go inside and hit the treadmill. Spin cycle is ok but I never find the seats to be comfortable... yea hurts my nuts actually. Then a little lifting before SAUNA time! I miss it but maybe one day things will get back to normal on this planet.

Okay, mine is tied between swimming and running outside. Both are very freeing for me, especially when no shirt is involved.

I hate cardio and haven't done any in years other than Tabata protocol on elliptical; that way I'm done in less than 10 minutes.

None of my favorites are listed:
1. Fucking
2. Hiking
3. Power yoga
4. Rowing
