What do you do for cardio, if any?

I have had a tonal 3 years and love it.
The pros:
Lots and lots of workouts and programs for all levels.
If you're not really trying to do heavy bodybuilding, there is plenty of weight to be had. And even if you are, if you max out, you can add volume.
It's in your house. Zero excuse to skip.
You can very easily get a cardio workout from one of the many HITT workouts. Trust me, you do not need any adder for cardio, unless you want to (I bike)
Cons:
If you don't pay the monthly subscription the machine becomes pretty dumb. Not only do you lose the access to the programs, but also several nifty features like burnout mode, spotting mode, custom workouts, etc. So you're pretty much locked into the subscription forever to get the best bang for your buck.
Not practical if you're going to move a lot or don't own where you are (especially if you're in an apartment with steel studs).
