Since you are incorporating intervals into your program anything else you add in is just extra. Just don't over do it. Hi James,

I ride a few times a week, 20-40 miles per ride at a moderate to hard pace, which is considered prolonged cardio. How can I enjoy a bike ride if its only for 20 minutes? Or hiking and backpacking for instance? Or am i misunderstanding how limited my weekly cardio should be?

I would also recommend that for the work phase you bump the level up a little bit then bring the level back down for the rest phase. Paul @Barbara

I usually stay on the bike for 25 min. Thanks Barbara If you are using a stationary bike should you speed up really fast for 15-30 seconds and then slow it down for 90 and keep repeating this.

You can bike, swim, use the arc trainer, stepmill, rowing machine or you can do a circuit of body weight exercise. But pretty much anything that you will consistently do works well. Just work up to a longer time hard and less time rest. Paul Hi Melody,

I hate to run. What are some other activities that will give me the same benefits?
