It has been years since I went to the gym or did regular exercise. Hehe.

Here's my initial beginner's cardio yesterday... picked this one up from here:

Warm up	5 Minutes: RPE 3-4: Warm Up at an easy pace
Rest Set	3 Minutes: RPE 5: Increase speed from warm up and increase incline 1%. Keep a moderate pace.
Work Set	1 Minute: RPE 6 - Increase incline 1-3% to raise the intensity level. You should be working harder!
Rest Set	3 Minutes: RPE 5 - Decrease speed and incline to lower your heart rate back to a comfortable level
Work Set	1 Minute: RPE 6 - Increase speed 3-5 increments and increase incline 1-2% to raise intensity.
Rest Set	3 Minutes: RPE 5 - Decrease speed and incline to lower your heart rate back to a comfortable level
Cool down	5 Minutes: RPE 3-5 - Decrease speed/incline to lower your heart rate back to a comfortable level and cool down
