Rule number one: control the fork first.

Yep. Always blows my mind how few calories exercise burns. Yet people think they need to start there and get discouraged when it doesn't change anything. Bonus points for "I worked out, so I can eat this giant slice of cake!".

One time I was in a bagel shop. This group of fat girls barges in decked out in designer running gear and starts gabbing like they own the place. Not Tess level fat but way chubbier than they should be and all sporting big rocks and earrings. Apparently they were training for a marathon and had just finished a "6 mile run" which I'm sure means they walked 80%. One says "OK girls dig in we dezzzerve it." They go up and order a shit ton of bagels. This place was famous for putting a ridiculous amount of cream cheese on the bagels.The fattest girl starts sniping at the guy behind the counter. "Sir you did not give me enough cream cheese." I'm laughing my ass off because that is the last thing you would ever hear at this place. In fact, I've heard tons of people complain and/or scrape it off. Anyway I watched them destroy a giant pile calories thinking so that's how you stay fat running long distances. I still say "Dig in girls we dezzzzerve it" every time I walk by.

Alright, so I love the arc trainer. It kicks ass, and by the time I'm done, I'm dripping with sweat. Currently I do 20 minutes on it at moderate high intensity (compared to running or airdyne for half an hour). Great machine.

Fatty boom boom here probably shuffles a couple times on it, hops off because it's sOooO tired, and leaves it dirty for any future humans. Seriously, I can't stand fatties taking up exercise machines that could be used by humans. And then they think that they work out just as hard as us. Honey, I spent 20 minutes putting all of my strength into this, after having already ridden half an hour on my airdyne, and preparing for some weight training next. You spent 20 minutes going at zombie pace at 0 resistance while thinking of beetus.

I have recently started alternating an airdyne with indoor rowing, holy crap that thing is great. It hammers home how i have neglected improving my cardio, do you pick a pace and maintain or do a 90/30 split kinda thing?

I tend pick a pace, at least for most of my ride on the Airdyne. I have an AD4 Schwinn I believe, and what I tend to do is watch the level gauge (prefer watching it to the RPM for some reason.) I keep my level at a minimum of at least 2.0, though I generally go at more like 2.1-2.3.

Every five minutes I slow down for 15-20 second or so to take a sip of my water bottle. Near the end of the ride, I'll go into a sprint. My time is 7.6 miles in half an hour, give or take 10 seconds.

I really like that the resistance is automatic, getting harder the harder I pedal, so I don't have to fiddle with a dial every two seconds. Plus, my home isn't air conditioned, so the bike's fan is a sweet mercy on hot days.

Before I developed a chronic illness, ten minutes on one of these machines was like 20% of my gym routine. I wasn't even a massive gym buff. I just enjoyed exercising. But that's kind of the point. The gym for me was just a fun way to spend and hour of my time. Unless you have a genuine health problem (being fat does not count) then ten minutes of exercise should not be that difficult.
