We all have a go-to cardio activity that we crave not only because it's enjoyable, but also because it energizes us and helps us burn major calories. I've been talking a lot about the Best of 2008, so tell me, which form of cardio should receive this title?
I was thinking the SAME thing, javs! elliptical does not equal running.

I would pick swimming but running is less expensive because I just need the running shoes, whereas swimming I would need to get a membership to the pool.
3
Running, but outdoor running for me (even in bad weather). And yeah, elliptical is so not the same as running.
4
the arc trainer is definately the best machine at the gym!
5
would Spinning count at biking?
6
In the gym I love the eliptical but when the weather is nice I prefer walking out doors. It's great exercise and it gets you places.
7
I picked running but it's a tie betweeen swimming and running.
If only the triathlon would make the swim longer and the bike shorter 
I would love to swim, but no access to a pool. I can't run... I've tried so many times, but I just want to cut my knees out when I'm done. So walking is my cardio... outside in the summer, treadmill in the winter.

Spinning!

If I take this survey 2 years ago, my answer will be swimming. I started to run last July and hooked on to it after that. Since July of last year, I had 2-10K run, 2-half marathon, and 4-full
marathon. I run more than I swim now.
Yeah where is spinning for an option? I went with biking...
15
Running, but definitely outdoors. It's the only exercise that can consistently stave off gym boredom.
16
elliptical
17
Yes, I would consider spinning a form of biking.
18
I like running, but in the winter when there's a ton of snow and it's cold, I like the elliptical. I also like biking, but only outdoors...I'm not a fan of the stationary bike.
19
Skiing is my favorite, but I dont get to do it as much as I would want....So I use the treadmill for my everyday cardio.
20
For the first time in my life it's "playing sports" for me. A bunch of friends formed an ultimate frisbee team and after some deliberation (I hate most team sports), I joined. Great decision. It's the only way I can force myself to run and it's a lot of fun.
21
These days, jogging. Love it.
22
I run quite a bit but I also jump rope several times a week. I like working on speed and footwork.
23
I like playing hockey/ice skating, or rollerblading when I can't get to ice. I also love to go rock climbing and hiking. Usually I just head to the gym though for my regular workout because it's convenient.
24
everyday - 2 hrs - elliptical trainer
