I lift 3 times a week and do HIIT cardio 7 days a week. I won't allow myself to miss a workout for any reason. I really enjoy them. One day I had to go to the E.R, when I got back home the first thing I did was jump on the bike. All I could think about was getting my workout in! I get excited when I step into the weight room because I know that it's another opportunity to improve and grow stronger.
When I'm on the bike or stair-climber and sweat is pouring off my body, my heart is beating 189 BPM (remember, I'm doing HIIT-I don't maintain that level!) and I feel like I can't take another step, I just grit my teeth and think about my future body. I tell myself that I'm either going to finish this workout with a 110% effort, or I'm going to pass out. So far I've finished all my workouts. ;)

And if you read what I posted, I said I do intense exercise also. I lift 3 times per week and do cardio 7 days per week. And much like him, I don't take excuses from excercise - I got my workout in on the same day I had surgery, and the day after as well
My point is that anyone who says that cardio is pointless is just wrong, also, there is plenty of research on the topics of LISS (low intensity steady state - like walking or Medium intensity - like powerwalking - what i do) versus HIIT (which my bicycle riding is up and down a lot of hills) - they both have benefits, and that's why I do both.
The bottom line is, get off your ass, do some exercise, you will get some benefit - keep doing exercise if you want to keep getting that benefit.
