That's the best part about cardio. You can do so many other things while doing it. ... OK well, not lots of different things, but once you're past the hell of getting into a shape, you kindof just zone out into the music/podcast/video/what ever and huffpuff away for a while while entertained.
If you go to a gym, some even have theatre rooms filled with treadmills/etc and a movie playing.
I don't end up pushing very hard when I do cardio that way because my attention is divided, but yeah something is better than nothing
It's often actually important to not go too crazy for 'just' day to day cardio. So that actually helps normally.
Unless you're trying to specifically improve cardio, like a runner trying to improve times, mellow cardio is what you want. If you are trying to improve cardio, then definitely mind on the game doing something like intervals!
Absent minded intense cardio is how you get heart attacks. (y'know, outside of the normal health issues that compund into them, often triggered by something 'intense')
Yeah, this is about where my head was at anyway - thanks for the thorough advice :)
