I like a mix of types of cardio. I don't do a lot of hiit or intense intervals (intense but maybe not quite hiit, isn't hiit anaerobic?), but I try to one or two times a week. One of my favorite for hiit is kettlebells and/or jump roping for the intense interval. I don't currently do cardio machines partially because I don't workout at a gym unless swimming and partially because I don't like repetitive movement type cardio (though I can tolerate it outside so walking, jogging, etc outside is exempt). I think slower, milder steady state has some benefits and some activities I like fit into that category and I feel hiit and intense intervals has other benefits. I am thinking of doing hiit a little more often as it seems to oppress my appetite a bit (for a while anyway). But I am not sure it would if I did it too often.
