Oh man, threads like this kill me.
I *just* started a lots of cardio rotation (well, lots for me...mostly walking videos)....and now I'm all like "woo-hoo, I'm gonna chunk cardio!" LOL... Maybe that'll be my next rotation, the no-cardio rotation... |

I don't do much cardio either. I mainly do all barre work and since that raises my heart rate up too, I figure that's probably good enough for now. My weight doesnt go up and I feel great, so thats all that matters! I do cardio 2-3 times a week b/c I feel like I *have* to. Tho, truth be told, I'd love to scrap it!

I get my cardio in with AWT type workouts a la The Firm, Barry's Bootcamp, etc. or with circuit workouts, mostly Jillian nowadays. I also jog at least once a week, and have been enjoying freestyle bouncing on my rebounder.
But mostly I am confident that the strength training is what gets the weight off the best for me. The Firm has worked wonders as has Pilates and I think Kettlebells will be very helpful as well. I could easily see how a "cardio free" rotation would be effective for weight loss.

I agree with the poster who said she'd only do cardio if it was easy and felt good/was fun, like Debbie Rocker, Leslie, Ellen. Those are my favorites too. I do enjoy Billy Blanks' workouts too but my arms/shoulders get DOMS from them so I think I'm getting strength benefits there, so I mentally classify kickboxing as kind of AWT. |

I personally don't do that much cardio and the stuff I do is low to medium impact. When I do high impact, I just wind up losing muscle and gives me a ravenous appetite. I find my body fat stays down when just doing things like walking and dancing rather than when I was doing things like IMAX 3. Marcy
