[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, what kind of exercise are you doing that counts as moderate intensity aerobic activity? [b]I have been consistently doing strength training for the past 9 months [/b]and also feel amazing (and proud! First time in my life I've done so well at sticking to a routine). I think I'm ready to add cardio in...but I hate HIIT and running. Would love to hear what others do. [/quote]

That's awesome!  I am so proud of you internet stranger.  I'm glad you are proud of you.

I'm not OP but I do run outside. I think people who say they hate running aren't doing it right. They are going too fast (almost always the case, especially when you are first starting, you should almost be speed walking), they are ill-equipped (strength shoes should be tight and running shoes should be quite big), or they are going for too long.  You should start slow and walk/jog, like 30 seconds at a time x 4, then the next time is 30 seconds x 6, then 1 minute x4 etc.... download a couch to 5k program and you may really surprise yourself!  Get a fitness watch or download one on your phone, find a nice trail/route near your house, and DON'T QUIT.  Consistency is so important!

But if you really don't like it, look into a Peloton bike, an elliptical, a cheap treadmill etc.  [/quote]

I’ve been running on and off since my 20s - never super long distances - and ever since my mid-40s I don’t seem to be able to keep any running routine without getting injured. And I am not doing anything crazy at all in terms of length or speed. [/quote]
