Question Hate running but I need cardio

Well, running has NEVER been my forte. I really need cardio but there is no pool or anything around here and I can't afford a gym membership. What should I do?

Re: Hate running but I need cardio

How about exercise DVD's. You could also try jumping jacks, jumping rope, dancing, or anything that gets you moving and keeps your heart rate up.

Re: Hate running but I need cardio

Outside the gym (besides running): bicycling, stair climbing (actual stairs), swimming (in pool or lake), rowing (boat), paddling (boat). Bicycling (as well as running) can be used to go places. If you work in a multistory building, you can walk up the stairs instead of using the elevator.

Inside the gym: most of the above have gym machines (or facilities like a pool for swimming) to simulate. Rowing and swimming are full body exercises as opposed to just lower body exercise.

Re: Hate running but I need cardio

If you don't like running, how about speed walking? Or perhaps walk/run combo...as in walk for 1min, then jog for 4min, repeat until you've reached either your goal time or distance.

Re: Hate running but I need cardio

I can get my heart rate up on the stationary bike; but I also to Aerobics - both are great for cardio.
