I’m a healthy 31 year old male who takes a relatively hot shower first thing in the morning (about 15 min) and a hot whirlpool bath in the evening (again about 15 min). I am trying to get into routine of regular exercise, but am wondering if there are any positive cardio benefits to hot baths/showers. I know that my heart rate increases during either a bath or shower. Would this have a similar cardiovascular benefit to raising your heart rate via exercise?
I’m 38 and in pretty good shape for my age, but I want to be in supershape. I know that you’re supposed to break into CV workouts light, then increase with time. So just what kind of exercises should I start with, how long should I work out, how hard should I work, and when should I step up the intensity?

I’m having a really hard time with this question for my Health class because though I read the lesson text over and over and over, it did not mention anything like this. Could anyone tell me a helpful site where I can find this information? I’m not looking for easy answers, just for someone to point me in the right direction.
Treadmill, running at 6mph/10 minute miles.
or…
Elliptical trainer: At level 5 difficulty.
Both are done for exactly an hour.
Which is a better exercise and burns more calories?
