I was just thinking about mixing things up for the half-hour (or more) of cardio. I think my gym's too busy for the 4-5-6-6-5-4 plan though!

My gym is definitely too busy for the 4-5-6-6-5-4 plan, but I do like to do my cardio in 3, 20 minute chunks - 20 on the stairmaster, 20 on the elliptical, and 20 on the treadmill. it feels really great and i don't get bored

I use two machines, treadmill and elliptical. Mixing it up is best. I get bored. Some days I only use one machine, others two. I workout at home in my home gym.

I use treadmill and elliptical too.
On the treadmill I switch it up between jogging and steep uphill powerwalks too.

i usually do 45 min on the elliptical and 15 min either running or biking

In order, I use: elliptical, treadmill, bike, and stair climber.

Pretty much go with my order of preference when available, but there are times when it is busy & I jump on something else for a bit.

I don't go to a gym. But that wasn't an option...
I don't use any machines, just a couple of dumbbells.

I use 3 machines (elliptical, tread, stair) for 10 -15 minutes each but I usually change the order up using them so that my body doesn't get used to a routine.

Like others, I use the elliptical first followed by the treadmill. Keeps me from getting really bored.

I mix up elliptical and bike but mostly because I have hip problems and have to switch as soon as it hurts.

I usually split up my cardio time between two machines...usually the treadmill and the elliptical(20 mins ea). Last night i actually just stayed on the elliptical because i really felt like i was getting a great workout on it. Plus...changing my routine up a bit is better for me anyway.

I use the treadmill for 30 minutes (intervals), then on my non weight days I use another cardio machine for 15 minutes then do yoga.

i usually just use one cardio machine for an hour each time i go to the gym... i always switch up which one i use, but if i have been naughty recently dietwise, then i'll jump on the treadmill and run and extra mile or two after i finish with the first cardio machine..just to make myself feel a litttle better lol

I try to brake it up to keep it interesting so I don' get into a rut.

I do 20 to 25 minutes on the arc trainer, 20 minutes on the stepper, and 20 to 30 minutes on the bike.

I do a 20/20/20 plan. Arc-Trainer 20 mins, treadmill 20, elliptical 20. I'll switch out one for the stairmaster on certain days. Great workout!

I use the treadmill AND elliptical.

Classes are the best!!!

yes - i usually start on the elliptical and then move to the bike that way i'm working a lot of muscles but not to the point where i'm dying in pain, and i get a good workout.

i usually just use the eliptical at the gym but i also run outside

Yes! My gym is REALLY crowded so when I get there, I sign up for the elliptical and treadmill and while I wait my half hour, I get on the bike. My ideal workout consists of 30 minutes on the bike, treadmill, and elliptical

Once I get on one piece of equipment I am glued to it until I am finished!

I usually mix it up quite a bit...treadmill/running outside, elliptical, and jumping rope. Sometimes I'll do the exercise bike too, just to mix up the routine even more.

what's an arc trainer? I go to my school gym and to my knowledge we only have bikes, elliptical, tread mills and the dreaded stairmaster
