Best cardio training I've had in the past 10 years is mountain biking. I'm down from 270 to 225, and still losing. When I first started, I could barely ride 4 miles. That took me over an hour.
Now, I regularly do 11.5 miles and my current best is 1 hour and 27 minutes.
There are people that can do that particular 11.5 loop in 55 minutes, so I have a ways to go.
I have a tough time with cardio because I have a very bad injury to my lower right leg and knee thanks to numerous motorcycle accidents years ago. A bicycle doesn't give me any of the impact and wearing on my feet or knees that running does. I feel great when I get off of it, and it has actually made me stronger. I still have lingering body fat I can't get rid of, but I'm determined.
