Does the type of cardio that you recommend for your members vary, or do you
determine the optimum type of exercise for them individually?
If so, how do you determine the type of exercise?
I find that running has the greatest effect on my general wellbeing, but have
not yet found an exercise that stops me being a hoover (unless I skip-breathe,
but I have been told that that is not a good idea). Could it be the amount that
I do is not enough (30mins 3 times per week). I have also tried lots of
underwater swimming, and have daily access to a pool,
thanks in anticipation of your experience (fawn, fawn),
