Oh I understand what you mean. I've been doing long distance running for a while now. I just heard that rowing provides much more strength gains. Heard swimming is God tier cardio but it's pretty damn cold to do that right now.

Put the treadmill slope to about 8-9 and get a fast walking pace for thirty minutes a day.
