Stop in for a cup of coffee

I actually use a lot of HIIT for cardio...
I'm "Team Bowflex" so that's where I get a lot of it from.

HVT will have me hit muscle failure in 18 - 20 minutes.

Max Trainer is a good whole- body cardio experience... "The Machine" to steal from The Princess Bride. Instructor led or profile workouts. Sprint/upper body work

I have a Bowflex Velocore bike... with a 16" screen. Allows for instructor led or ride programs... pick music and accompanying video. Requires subscription, but we'll worth it compared to staring at a blank wall. I use this for endurance... max VO2

Currently I'm at about 180 bpm max... low/resting around 56 bpm. I shoot for 130 - 140 for aerobic work.

I'm conscious of knee stains/ stress. The bike is most friendly... Max Trainer second... HVT can get stressed with some of the jumping or lunging exercises (speed of reps is very high).

I've tried rowing but for me the low back/knee stress was a non-starter.

I use a Polar H10 chest strap due to its compatibility with the machines and smart watches

Thanks for the intel. With titanium knees I have to be smart on impact. My resting BPM is just under 60 or dead nuts on sixty on any given day. Today was my first day monitoring BPM in cardio workout. I stayed right at 110 which I felt was low but really did not know? I am trying to be smart and not be my normal must be extreme self. When I get frustrated lifting and decide F it I am doing more weight I simply strip the bar and walk away. If I stay I will succumb to my ego, then sure as the world I will be purchasing another shoulder. Ego or vanity not sure which it is, but it is darn sure dangerous!
