If it’s impossible to take your cardio work outside try a different activity.

Repetitive use of muscles in the same activity with the same amount of resistance at the same speed wears down joints and strains muscles were the greatest amount of stress is located.
By participating in a variety of activities I decrease down time due to injury and pain.
Changing cardiovascular activities on a consistent basis is not only the best way to heal muscle areas suffering from over use syndrome but also to prevent injuries from occurring.
Since biking and running are both joint stress producing activities I use swimming as another alternative to cross train and keep things interesting.
Swimming is another great cardiovascular activity and very refreshing.
Water resistance is much less demanding on the joints and is a great cross training activity for people who are prone to joint injuries.
So why make it more difficult? Change activities on a regular basis and you will find it much easier to do your cardio work more effectively.
You can split up your time on various cardio machines or activities you participate in.
Instead of doing 30 minutes on one activity, do 15 minutes on two separate cardio machines or activities.
Changing cardio activities can be one of the solutions.
By participating in diversified cardio activities you will be more enthusiastic and eager to do the activity and your cardio- workouts will become much more effective and efficient.
So if you have hit that plateau don’t get frustrated, try a different cardio activity and break through the barrier.
