    Very true. If you don't won't to run use the eleptical as you can go just as hard as you would running with out the wear and tear on the body.

    Re: Cardio duration

    I like the treadmill-elliptical and the rowing machine the best ( concept).I use all three of these each day and just work my HR between 130-150 for 1 1/2 hrs.I also toss in the stationary bike-but it bores me a bit.I find if I just do one type of cardio my trail hikes and rafting suffer come spring-summer-fall.My endurance is great for my age-plus I do some Zumba with the hotties.Great scenery in that class for those that like that type of endeavor,I can tell you is a great way to burn up and hour an excess calories to boot !!-OD

    The other night I had a guy talk to me (and maybe I should have listened lol) about a mathematical formula for your heart rate per you age and weight that if you stay in that range you won't burn muscle. Has anyone heard of this? I absolutely dislike cardio after back surgery but starting tomorrow i'm going to stay to cut and run my cut cycle but don't want to burn to much hard earned muscle.

    muscle isn't used as an energy source during cardio, fat and carbs are. The more intense your exercise is, the more carbs become a higher percentage of the fuel used. I'm not sure of the formula hes referring to, but the most common is 220-your age X (.65-.85). this puts you roughly in the 65-85% range of your estimated max HR. Sticking in this range will ensure you're burning an adequate amount of calories and you're working your heart enough to see cardiovascular benefits.
    Another option is to check out High Intensity Interval Training.
