What's your choice of cardio?
-
A particularly good form of cardio is something that won't kill your joints because those things wear out when we age. Things like runnings (especially on hard surfaces) will ruin your knees. Personally, I would recommend something like swimming, cycling, rowing (ergo or outdoors), or the X-Trainer because all of those exercises are gentler in terms of their impact to your joints.
Definitely incorporate HIIT (link to HIIT cycling: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRylMkvahjM) because interval training has more impact on cardiovascular health, but the general rule of thumb applies: any cardio is still better than no cardio at all. Everybody who wants to be fit should incorporate some cardio because it not only drops the BFP but also enlongates your lifespan.

No cardio :-X can't let those calories run away !

There are three different types of elliptical machines at my gym. Recently I've been bringing my own jump rope and going into one of the vacant studios to jump – it feels amazing, is fun, and has really helped develop my calves.

Sounds cool. How does it affect joints? I have problems with knees sometimes (if I run too long) putting so much pressure as hitting the ground with a power every half a second could be a problem so I'm just wondering.

I've never had a problem. After the first couple of times my ankles were tight but over time they've gotten much stronger and have helped my squat.
If you have a jump rope available, give it a shot. Jump for one to two minutes rounds. Sounds easy but it'll tire you out, trust me.

there s an youtube channel says cardio does no help to fat burning tho
so i cut off 99% cardio workouts
It DOES help on fat burning, but it is minimal if not put on tandem with a good diet and lifting
Still, as long as you don't over do it, there are so many health benefits cardio provides other than fat burning, specially HIIT -
Prefer bicycling and jogging over all others.

Boxing and running.
