[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 154159, member: 18023"] I find intense cardio of any kind to be more difficult than intense weight lifting. Running for me is the most intense form of cardio. Either intense cardio or weightlifting can result in different kinds of overuse injuries if you aren't careful. I tend to aim for a pulse rate of 120-150 when doing cardio. HIIT is demanding also, I have tried moving from weight machine / free weights without any rest period between exercises, outside of the time it takes to change machines, it really raises my pulse rate. I don't have any sort of rigid pattern of exercise since I tend to focus for a month or two on either strength or cardio, or try to mix up both. Generally i focus on increasing strength or with cardio endurance. Lately the last couple of weeks I have been doing a lot of yard work, building a fire pit, moving around 1000 lbs of bricks, landscape timbers, repeating lifting up 22 lb bricks. I think if I went to the gym to weight lift it would only limit my ability to work in the yard. Weightlifting has made the yard work easier, swinging a small sledge hammer is much easier now than a few years ago. [/QUOTE]
