    I personally employ 40-45 mins at 65-75% of MHR. I use a recumbent bike so as to use as little glycogen from the legs as possible. Stairmasters, treadmills w/inclines, etc., seem to be a bit too extreme for me.

    Eliptical or "Precur" machines have the least impact, and you do most of the motion from your hips. This can save leg size as well.
