          @karashi:

          Mini-trampoline - in front of the TV!  I try to do at least 1 hour per day, maximum 3 hours.

          This would be hysterical to see !!! Someone just jumping up and down in front of a TV - but sounds fun

          Mine is varied except treadmill - just feels weird and i can never synch to the speed of it, no matter how I adjust

                      Tabata like cardio.  20 seconds really intense, 10 to 15 seconds stop, then back for more.  I HATE HATE cardio so it's the only kind that interests me or i'll die of boredom and not do any.  Elite athletes do it which i am definitely not one, but i find it makes a difference.  You can do any exercise you choose, but i do 5, burpees, bodyweight squats, jumping jacks, mountain climbers, then a kettlebell swing.  I'm up to 3 sets so it takes about 9 minutes total (sometimes i go for more than 20 seconds intense).  I'm dead after it all.

                        I love swimming, but it's not possible or convenient all year round. I also do the reclining bicycle, usually an hour or two three times a week; I do it in front of my laptop and put on a movie or TV show to make the time go by faster. Both of them are good for my knees, which can't take too much impact before they start to ache.

                          I used to just jog and use the elliptical, but recently I've been doing sprints, since I've been told it's the most effective way to lose weight

                                I've heard elliptical good for a butt, what can you say about this?
                                I can't find a place in my training schedule for this. I do weight exercises for my butt.
                                As cardio I chose running in a forest with different layers of ground, it's painful, but without pain there was no pleasure. After running I can dance all night, it improves whole my life and especially sleep.

                                        Cycling to and from work, hill sprints (30s on/60s rest) and 4 min tabata-style HIIT sessions. I really can't stand long distance running, whether it's on a treadmill or tarmac. I don't have the zen-like focus for it.

                                            Complicated answer:

                                            Personally?  I love running.  I enjoy it because it was something I never did well, but as soon as I hit 33 or so, I fell in love with it.  It was helpful when my mom died, because it was therapeutic.  Running cleared my mind.

                                            For the most "bang out of your buck", it's the ergometer/rowing machine.  It is, by far, the best cardio.  I just have a small gym I go to that only has one machine, so there's normally a fight for it.
