I was asked what my favorite forms of cardio are ... well ...

I have four favorites:

1. Jogging on mountain trails - we have access to hundreds of miles of trails that cut through the Black Hills, and I love being on every one of them

2. Jogging at a slow pace on an incline on the treadmill - get to listen to personal development CDs while I do this

3. Walking at a brisk pace while at maximum incline - this is how I burn extra calories when I'm already training to the max and don't want to add to much impact but could use the extra calorie burn

4. High intensity interval training - just old-fashioned BFL-style 20-minute cardio rocks me. I warm-up for 10 minutes at 5 mph on a slight incline, then jump into the sequence. Currently I'm at 6.1, 7.1, 8.1, 9.1 mph intervals (1 minute each) with a 10.1 mph grand finally. Whoomp!
