What's your favorite form of cardio exercise? We're asking because for today's workout in our No-Excuses Workout Challenge, all we ask is that you keep your heart rate up for 30 minutes. Take that studio cycling class you love. Go for a run. Hit the pool for some laps. It doesn't matter what you do, just keep moving for 30 minutes
If you would like a little more direction, we have some workout plans for you to try - one using a treadmill and one using an elliptical, in case you have access to some cardio equipment.
