same terrain same heart beat But which do you prefer ?

I think i would rather bike in the gym for an hour wit good resistance then jog around campus for an hour... what are ya'lls preferences?

[ich1ban]

I would prefer almost any cardio rather then jogging.

But i would say cycling with the choices i have.

I get minor shin splints when i jog/run (pain in the shins)

[bkoguy07]

Yeah I like cycling as well, I had a bone fracture in my foot playing soccer my sophmore year in high school and it still bothers me occasionally.

[neoborn]

rowing, elliptical, cycling, walking

[asianbabe]

I quite like spinning (bike) classes.

Jogging does give you a pretty nice high, but if you do a lot of leg work and cardio each week, it might hampen recovery.

If I was only doing cardi o2-3 times a week, I'd rock the running.

The answer to the question "biking or jogging?" is "How much do you like your knees?"

When I was a trainer, I had a client who was a runner. She was 41, and up for her second knee replacement. Every session, she'd jog to the gym. Understanding escapes me. We all think that trainers are morons, the clients are just as screwed up.

For sure, even President Bush knows it

I read an article that he could burn the same amount of cals riding a bike then running and it's less taxing on his knees.

As for me it's less taxing on my shins

[bkoguy07]

Yeah when I jog I have to run on something like grass or not concrete, because once I start getting upwards of 2 miles I start hurting...

i can barely put in a mile running before my shin splits really start to hurt. My calves swell up like balloons and hurt for the rest of day if i run, my vote goes to raquetball or if the courts are taken the elliptical

damn has it always been like that? i would hate physical activity if that was the case lol

If you're getting shin splints while running then 1) Either your running technique needs looking at or 2) You need a running shoe that better suits your walk/running style.

I'd go with running, it doesn't just use legs but the whole body to stabilize the motion.

it doesnt get that bad when i run on a track outside but when i try and run on a treadmill it kills me. i talked with my chiropractor about it and he said to stretch them out better and that should resolve the problem, i just never spend the time doing it because i like to get in and out of the gym.

yeah i hate running on treadmills, its weird for me

[bpmartyr]

I vote for both. Mix it up. It reduces the mundaneness of doing the same thing every cardio session.

basketball, tennis, cycling does it for me

less boring then running

yeah normally i can only run if a coach is forcing me, other then that i have to do something a lil more entertaining (cycling and watchin tv is coool too )

Running (especially right now, on the treadmill) can definitly be boring when on the long runs, but it's a necessity everyone should do IMO. It's just the most functional form of exercise!
