Everyone hates cardio whether for weight loss, health, performance, show prep, and more we hate it. That said there are many forms of cardio as well many ways to perform these cardio sessions. From that one of the greater success' I have had with LI (low intense) is how I have my clients execute. Again this is my recommendation based on theory and assessment of my clients success. With that here is how I recommend you perform and execute your LI cardio if it is part of your cardio regimen.
1.) Choose a piece of LI equipment (treadmill, elliptical, stair climber, cycle bike) pretty much pieces that have the computer/controls on them.
2.) When you get on choose the "Manual" program.
3.) After choosing the "Manual" program, it should and will ask you for your weight.
4.) Input your weight that you weighed that morning.
5.) It may ask for gender, age, etc. if so input it as well (not mandatory) but generally helps.
6.) After all that you will perform your LI cardio until you reach *** kcals burned, whether it takes you 10 minutes or 60 minutes.
7.) General rule of thumb is the more intense the shorter you will have to perform but as we go that will get harder and harder.
I fully understand the machines and pieces of equipment are not 100% in accuracy, but what we get from this is "consistency" in effort of execution. The slower/less intense you perform the longer you will perform the session. The more intense you push the shorter the session. In all it allows high room for accurate monitoring and analysis based on activity vs. caloric intake and more.
