Hi, I was unable to get into the other cardio topics, not sure why, but was wondering what the best way to get cardio is? I don't know a lot about the different things to do for cardio and was wondering if someone could maybe give me some pointers. I don't have any access to machines or anything, too bad, wish I had a treadmill!!! LOL

There are tons of options for cardio...running, biking, swimming, jumping rope, climbing stairs....etc... The idea is to get your heart rate up for 20-40 min, depending on your level of fitness. No equipment is needed, just a good pair of shoes and off you go! If you're new to fitness, try startng with walking and work your way up.

Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there.

Thanks, I am new to fitness and wasn't sure where to begin. I would assume that stair climbing is good too? I have a nice stairway in my house that my hubby made, I could walk up and down those. He would be happy, LOL
