What is your cardio exercise plan?

On days I workout I do it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. On days I don't workout I will do it in the evenings.

- Updated Dec 13, 2007 9:03pm

What is your favorite cardiovascular exercise? Why?

Stairmill, I feel I get more out of it than the bicycle or treadmill.

- Updated Dec 13, 2007 9:02pm

	Barn01 [ View Profile ] Nov 5, 2009 5:36pm Haha my profile has me at 10% right now ;) ... Look closer I was about 4.5% ish for the stage. That was using a 7 point measure and sub mm calipers. How about you?
	eman88mph [ View Profile ] Nov 3, 2009 9:39pm THANK-YOU in fact!! I totally forgot to check and your comment made me remember they will be picking round 2 and in fact already have!!!!!! Thanks obravo!!
	musclebear1 [ View Profile ] Oct 29, 2009 10:42pm Thanks for adding me and the response in my blog. Right now, I'm a bit on mental overload from reading so many diet articles. Trying to keep what you wrote in mind though. The accountability factor scares me. I have people saying "It's not the outside that matters" to "We'll support you no matter what you do." Not very willing to make me accountable.
	eman88mph [ View Profile ] Oct 19, 2009 6:04pm Hey thanks man, and yea when I hit the vacuum everyone is like WTF is that so you know it's a rarity.
	bookerbrother [ View Profile ] Oct 6, 2009 6:08pm Pretty damn cool!!! Gotta believe in yourself and have God first in your life, and anything can happen. Thanks for the support.
