It seems that I have a case of Hamstring Tendonitis. It gets worse whenever I run or walk, especially on uneven surfaces, for a prolonged period of time. This means that for me to rehabilitate, I need to lay off most cardio machines like treadmills. Sometimes when I reinjure the tendon from exercise, I have to give any and all leg exercises a break.
So what I have found to be a good substitute for cardio machines that involve use of the legs, are Dumbbell Snatches, and Dumbbell Swings. Both can be performed with a kettlebell, but I don't have one at my gym.
For a good cardio workout, choose a weight that you can do 20 to 30 reps with. Do 4 sets of 25 reps each side. That's 100 reps per side.
