Will give you some ideas Thanks Conor. I am 6 ft 191 lbs. As mentioned previously, my preferred cardio training is incline treadmill walking. I like to do 30 minutes steady state. I do this after resistance training. When I push it, on the treadmill, I can get in the range of 600 calories in 30 minutes. I use this calculator: https://exrx.net/Calculators/WalkRunME Ts Pushing it on a treadmill is simpler to accomplish for me because the machine creates enforced pacing. On days I want to go hard on the Airdyne, it is natural for me to ease off a bit, when the going gets rugged. On the treadmill, the machine goes whether I feel like it or not. I suspect the Airdyne feels easier for me because the effort is distributed via arms and legs as opposed to just legs. And I am just not working as hard. I have not done the treadmill now for a year, owing to the pandemic. Maybe I will just have to get a treadmill for home. In any event, again, thank you for your input. Stay Healthy, Stay Strong
