I hate cardio. Only because of that pain/burn it leaves to my chest 20 seconds after I start.

What cardio can I do at home that is forgiving for beginners?

I tried jumping rope and it is ridiculously difficult, even to do one full jump.

Are these exercises on the pictures good for cardio at home? Maybe also the small step?

Do we really need cardio? I do lift 3 times a week.

This is technically, (and albeit some people forget a lot) a health and fitness board. Do you believe yourself to be fit when you can't do one fucking jump on a jump rope? Use the same motivation that you use to lift and apply it to some fucking moderate walking at the very least.

I really hope this is a troll, but if not your best bet is to start walking at least 20 minutes a day until you can not keel over an die after masturbating too hard.

Also Scooby talked about Hybrid/Complexes workouts, that combine weights with cardio (farmer's walk).

What do you think about that?

I just hate it when I run for half a block and my lungs are burning.

whether you need to do cardio or not depends on your goals.

If you want to be generally fit, then you /need/ cardio. Just not an excessive amount unless that's your goal.

Oh Sorry then. I thought it was you couldn't jump properly. What kind of rope are you using? Try a heavier version, leather ones work really well. And the rest just come down to practice. Like anything involving coordination

jumping/skipping rope is an excellent choice of cardiovascular exercise. please describe your form when you jump rope so we can know what you're doing wrong and how to fix it.

Quoted By:

If your heart is gonna jump out of your chest 20 seconds after you start, chances are you're going to hard at the start. Unless you already do a dedicated warm up phase for five minutes or so you'll have to "rev up" your cardio over a few minutes.

Jumping rope is a great cardio exercise but it can be a challenge when you start because of endurance in your legs and overall coordination. You also need to make sure you really warm up your calves to avoid developing Achilles tendonitis. You can start working on your endurance and capacity for jumping rope **without** the rope at first. Just mimic the motions for a while until you can effectively jump in place for maybe a minute or so. Once you can go for a little while without a rope, throw the rope in and start working on your coordination and building up your time. It may be you just have to do a minute or so at first and expand the time as you progress. Do a minute of skipping rope and then switch to alternate cardio forms. Then come back to the rope after 5 minutes or something.
