With the weather turning cold and colder, brrr… we tend spend more time indoors.
To help me keep active. I usually turn towards my Cardio Friends to get the burn on. Some friends over a long winter…
Do you like to spin? A 60 minute high resistance for some solid muscle endurance.

The Stepmill? Low impact, nice lower body exercise, 20-60 minutes does the trick!

Often I will mix it up with some variety. A good solid burn could be to tackle two or three machines at 10-30 minutes each.
Keep it interesting. Call on your Cardio Friends for help…don’t let the cold stop you!

I like to do jumping jacks at home, too. It’s a nice mini cardio workout.
Yup, the spin bike and treadmill are my friends. Also the indoor pool. Gets really chilly when you come outside all wet, though!
Hi Sagan! Jacks are a good one!
Hi Blake! The pool has been absent for me…I will eventually work that one in! Waiting until warmer weather!
Stepmill? Never heard/seen it before. It looks cool!
Awesome post, Mark… and YES! You can always use any of my stuff, just link back to JoeGirl, and we’re good.
With the cold weather, it’s very hard to run in the morning, so my second best option is to used my dance revolution pod, so i can burn my calories and enjoying every moves, cool!
I’ve tried all of these at my fitness center, or at home. For the home, a treadmill, for me, seems to be the best for the money. At the fitness center, I still like the stairmaster best (which is not as popular anymore and not on your list). The problem I have with ellipticals is you have to fit your body to the machine, and not have the freedom of where to place your feet and hands like the stairmaster and treadmill. They are very popular, however!
Hi Yum Yucky! The Step Mill is basically taking a walk/run up the stairs..great cardio!
Hi JoeGirl! Much appreciated an awesome quote!
Hi Healthy Living the dance revolution pod seems interesting…thanks for sharing!
Hi Dr. J! I like the Stairmaster too…it does the body grand
