I've never been into cardio. For as long as I can remember I've convinced myself that it just isn't needed. Telling myself that walking up the stairs or drinking a glass of water really quickly are sufficient cardiovascular workouts because they get me out of breath. Things had to change. So I did it; I got myself a gym membership. Three nights a week I pitted my piteous lungs against that most resolute of foes - the treadmill. Fending off it's Procrustean desires for conformity. Sprinting until my muscles could give no more and my body rebelled. But it had to stop. I had to evaluate. And the diagnosis wasn't good. I was going nowhere fast.
