What is a good cardio alternative for running?

Question

i hate running but i know i need cardio in my workouts? what are some alternatives?

Answer 1

bicycling, swimming, hard athletic activity (basketball, football, soccer- which all involve running so you might be s******g the pooch there).

Answer 2

swimming is great since it works out every part of your body. Also jump rope is a great activity other than running. It also worked out the entire body.

Answer 3

Cycling and Swimming are, as previously stated, very good alternatives. Another would be Yoga. I prefer Hatha Yoga because it's more relaxed and focuses on deep breathing and is partially meditative. Stretches out and works out the muscles and gives your heart a good workout, also.

Answer 4

cycling and swimming

Answer 5

what about the elliptical machine (stairstepper)...man  that is the best form of cardio i think...in 20 minutes on the elliptical you can burn 300-400 calories and your knees don't take the pain and punishment
