next feb or so i will be joing the army, and i really need to work on my cardio. I have a gym membership and i do 5 minutes on the treadmil, the bike, and the stair master. Every week i add an extra minute to every thing. My question is that an acceptable way to get better cardio? Also is there anything else i can do to supplement it or any other exercises i can do to help?

(endurance)
I wish you the best and if you have any other questions make sure to let me know take care and best of luck!
