Is there a type of exercise that you find most effective and your favorite?

I prefer to swim or bike. Unfortunately, the former is a pain to do having to find a pool. We have one at the athletic center, but it is a haul to get there, get changed, do meaningful amount of swimming, change again, etc.

I also like to cycle. That is good for part of the year around where I live. Once fall hits, we get kinda nasty weather where campus is. Rainy and cold.

I enjoy running. It’s not as intense as weights at the gym but helps me clear my head and I like the endorphins after a 5 mile run.

Shadow boxing. I don't do it to become a good fighter. I like it because I can do it anywhere. This has allowed me to be pretty consistent with it. And through this consistency I've been able to study how much I burn when I do it:

- 7-9cals per minute
- .8-1.2g carb per minute
- .4-.5g fats per minute

This helps tremendously for being more metabolically flexible. For instance, I'm chasing a more shredded appearance so today I plan on keeping my carbs & fats under what I can easily oxidize. But if I want to eat more today, I'd be able to & would know exactly how much cardio to do in order to offset it all. And I know my limits as well. I tend to not be able to consistently do an average of more than around 200-300minutes of zone 2-3 cardio per day for around 2-3weeks before burning out whereas I can do an average of around 30-60minutes per day for the rest of my life if I wanted to.
