Cardio Workouts - Considerations & Options

As highlighted in other chapters, there's many cardio options out there - both cardio equipment and cardio workouts - and it can be a bit of a minefield choosing the right path. The right option for you is one that suits your ability, goals, and current period of training. I (GP) have listed sample gym workouts and fitness workouts on the Gym Professor website to provide you with some ideas.

To help further, I've categorised several cardio equipment options and program types to easily identify their typical associated level of difficulty when conjoined in a cardio workout program (NOTE: They're not always the case though!).

Basic

Cardio Equipment Options:	Cardio Program Type
Stationary Exercise Bike Treadmill Walking Arm Ergometer	Base Training/ Steady State

Progressive

Cardio Equipment Options:	Cardio Program Type
Cross Trainer/ Elliptical Trainer Treadmill Running Rowing Machine Stepper	Interval Training (Difficulty rising respectively from High Rest:Little Work to Little Rest:High Work + Fartleks)

Advanced

Cardio Equipment Options:	Cardio Program Type
Stairclimber Versa Climber The Wall (Climbing Wall)	Interval Training (Little Rest:High Work) Fartlek (Random Intervals)

If you're new to training, it's advised that you seek medical advice prior to undertaking a new exercise regime. If the workouts are for a new client, you should also take the rudimentary
precautions of a PAR-Q and health/ fitness tests.
