Chasing skirt merely increases blood pressure, with no commensurate cardio benefits.

Personally, I think treadmills s*ck, unless you have a fan set up for cooling, you can't get a decent cardio workout without overheating - or more accurately, you overheat before you can get a decent cardio workout. Cycling is a good way to get a hard cardio workout.

Years ago, when Eddy Merckx was in his prime, he was put on a stationary exercise bike to see how much power he could crank out. There was no air flow, and he blew up at about 1/3 the level the investigators knew he could put out based on his hill-climbing performance during actual races.
