I hate CSUN!!!
what about the intensity, intervals or slow steady?

i'd recommend starting ur cardio with intervals, then finishing with slow and steady.

it would look something like this:

5 minute warmup
then follow it with 60 second intervals followed by 120 second rest periods.
60 seconds would be 9 out of 10 on a perceived exertion scale (PES)
120 seconds would be 5-10 on PES.

here is the amounts I would have you do according to your ability level.
beginner-6-8
intermediate-8-10
advanced-10-12
elite-12-15

then you can always add 10-20 minutes of slow steady at the end, but it's not a necessity.

and yes, csun sucked.
