Really most anything that gets your heart rate up where you can sustain continuously for a period of time, typically at least 20 min. It's always good to vary the intensity. For me, I like to do a variety of things to keep my body from plateauing.

For example,

Day 1: Cycle - 1 hr - heartrate @ 70% MHR (Max Heartrate)
Day 2: Sprint-Jog Intervals for 20 min.
Day 3: Walk - 45 min. 60% MHR
Day 4: Swim - 30 min.
Day 5: Aerobics Class - 55 min.
Day 6: Drills - 45 min. (jump rope, sprint, lunges, lots of other things)
Day 7: Rest

Or let's say you just choose walking & running for cardio:

Day 1: Walk - 1 hr @ 60% MHR
Day 2: Jog - 45 min. @ 75% MHR
Day 3: 1 min. Sprint @ 90% MHR, 3 min Jog to Recover to 70% doing that for 20-32 min.
Day 4: Power Walk - 45 min. @ 75% MHR
Day 5: High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) Walking - 20 min.
Day 6: Run - 30 min. @ 80% MHR
Day 7: Rest

Hope that helps,
Doris
