Is a bike machine as effective as running? I already havedone the whole workout thing fyi, ive been working out on/off(mostly on and steady) for about 3 years, i just need to find a good cardio workout i can stick with(and a better diet :()
Riding is generally as effective as running, but takes twice as long because it isn't as intensive as running. The biggest, most beneficial upside is its way easier on your joints.
A combo it is! Would a 2 mile run/20 minute bike routine be enough for my goals?

I am starting lacrosse practice in under a week so thatll be the equivalent of 1-2 days of somewhat serious cardio a week haha

That, I cannot answer. What I usually did was a five-ten minute warm up walk, followed by stretching, followed by a ten mile bike ride.

Do that workout regimine Insanity.

It is really effective.

It is also expensive and requires my parents leave me alone for 60 minutes(i think?)

However my friend has it and i may jst give it a try

Eat a 💩 ton of carb loaded things like potatoes in addition to your proteins

I'm starting weekly regiments (soon maybe  more than once a week) of some intense yoga that focuses on different areas during the session. I skated to it today too which was really refreshing. I also like to go on heavy hikes with a lot of switch backs and that last more than 30 minutes each way, usually I'll pack up some camera gear also and that adds some weight to the load for sure

Swimming is incredibly good for toning while giving you a massive amount of good cardio workout. Also increasing your lung capacity giving you better stamina.
Rowing machine is also really good as it will work your core and your cardio at the same time.

Lifting will give you bulk and shape, while a good range of mobility fitness will help you put that bulk into real action, and help you tone it.
Highly intesive training will help you cut and shape also.
There are many different regimes and programs out there. Many of them really do work, often some are better for different body types. You just need to find one that works for you, be disciplined and stick to it. You will see the results you are after. :)

Look for a good starting program. I would recommend strong lifts 5x5 or the beginner 5x5 program from Jason blaha of ice cream fitness. Jason is on YouTube.

For free you do much more than that. Look up some stuff about body weight training, its amazing how much you can do. Gymnasts do a lot of this and they are some of the most amazingly fit people youll ever see. The problem is it takes DISCIPLINE, REGIMINE and KNOWLEDGE to do properly. But you woll see some insane results if you stick with it :p personally i havent had the determination to actualy do it

I'll look into that, but just wondering- is pushups, situps, and a healthy diet enough on it's own?

MisterJH

Depends on your goals man
