Re: Best cardio exercise
Hi the best cardio exercises are swimming , running , jogging , walking and cycling . These exercises are best for lossing some weight and body fitness . Cardio exercises are also best for preventing Heart diseases .
Re: Best cardio exercise
Boxing is favourite cardio since it's a lot of fun
Re: Best cardio exercise
Yeah I would go with swimming, it's the best cardio exercise and works your whole body.
Re: Best cardio exercise
However it can become an adaptable exercise medium, meaning it may lose efficacy and become less beneficial if the body gets used to it.
There are ways to counter this though.
1. Change the cadence and / or stroke style per week.
2. Change the cadence and / or stroke style per session.
3. Change the cadence and / or stroke style per width / length.

Re: Best cardio exercise
I vote for boxing, especially kick-boxing. problem with swimming is that unless you are relatively good a/o go relatively fast it is more a great toning exercise than a real cardio one. It's fantasic for your muscles and will get you in nice shape, but it will not get you winded unless you go fairly fast. Water walking (or jogging) works well actually...

Re: Best cardio exercise
High Intensity Interval Training is a really great cardio exercise, targeting fat loss!
Re: Best cardio exercise
Yes, I agree with jacal1. For beginners, swimming is best for muscle toning as most people quickly get tired before they can really work up a proper sweat. Compare this to running, where someone new to the activity will be sweating within a few minutes (depending on general fitness levels, of course).
If weight loss is the goal of cardio, then it is imperative to work up a sweat. That's not to knock swimming as a great low impact workout, though (which, as I said, is great for toning).

Re: Best cardio exercise
Running is the best cardio exercise. Have you ever watched runners and seen how tone their bodies are? This is the best thing you can do for yourself but it not only is healthy for you it also increases the substance in life. It motivates you naturally and helps balance our your hormones. I wrote a blog about running and you can visit it at http://www.woodburywisdom.com/family/ ... ther-days/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;.
Re: Best cardio exercise
One issue running can cause, aside form things like Plantar Fasciitis or Shin Splints, is potential degredation of the Knees, due to running on hard surfaces. This can happen to road racers sometimes who run constantly to something like Olympic standard.
Also some of those who run might look "toned", but they don't necessarily have good bone or muscle conditioning, as many do light or no weightbearing exercise, so having good cardiovascular health when old is nice, but if you start to get a few unwanted bits of Myalgia or Arthralgia in the Muscles and joints, it's not helpful.
Good weight training, coupled with a running mentality can provide boosted results and a more all over anaerobic and aerobic effect, that can last through to old age.
Running is however a very effective form of cardio and shouldn't be overlooked as an option.

Re: Best cardio exercise
I would have to say that swimming is the best cardio exercise. It works your whole body instead of just your legs.

Re: Best cardio exercise
Swimming is good exercise if you know how to swim correctly and have a pool.
I think cross country skiing is good too. When it's snowing and you have ski's.
Also inline skating is really good exercise. It really works your legs a lot! i think it actually builds muscle too. in the legs and back. It burns the calories too without the stress of something like running.
Really it comes down to what kind of cardio you enjoy though that is most important for the best cardio.

Re: Best cardio exercise
I'd hate to see someone doing the bad type of swimming that doesn't use a pool .musculArgirl2 wrote:Swimming is good exercise if you know how to swim correctly and have a pool.
I'm not sure what that would be, but I'm presuming it would involve either a hot tub or a jacuzzi and the process of treading water.
Re: Best cardio exercise
I prefer aerobic and hiking....but both can be bad for knees....
Re: Best cardio exercise
Since this is first post....I would say when it comes to cardio, swimming is a great exercise but the most fun workout for cardio is doing bear crawls. It gets your heart rate up quick and it doesn't take long to get tired out. If one doesn't have the space to do it (which you can go to a park) and would rather be indoors I have found high volume squats of different variations to get the job done. best record is 1050 squats in 56 min. That's cardio to the extreme.
