cardio
Gym's treadmill time
Cardio is exercise that elevates heart rate—running, cycling, swimming, aerobics.
Short for cardiovascular, it emphasizes the heart and circulatory system rather than strength or flexibility: I need to do more cardio.
At gyms, cardio often refers to the machines: treadmills, ellipticals, stationary bikes.
