We had a blast on the cardio machines (of course avoiding ... http://kwikloses.buddyslim.com/2008/03/06/a-probable-solution/ I like to think I have always had a knack for cardio. Even when I don’t train rigorously for it, I can generally keep up with the rest of my guys on a typical run.  When I recently started hitting the gym, I have been biking. Not my favorite task ... http://kwikloses.buddyslim.com/2008/03/05/my-cardio-fiasco/ For those who have taken the time to not only comment me, but thank me, I would like to say “thank you”.
