IF you're looking to get into cardio I would recommend:
- Treadmill on an Incline of 11 and then depending on your level of comfort, put the walking speed to 3 and do quick sprints for 30seconds or longer. Rest and repeat. This is something that keeps me entertained and also is really tough, I will try to do this for 15 minutes.
Since you are focused on lowering your resting heart rate, I would look into Heart Rate Training, where your focus is to keep your heart rate below a threshold and as you continue running you will be able to run faster below that threshold. This also helps with Preventing Injuries which has always happened when I tried to rush my progress: https://marathonhandbook.com/heart-rate-training-zones-for-r...
One of the things that has really helped me lately has been a proper warmup before working out. Sitting all day makes my hips and glutes super tight, so unlocking them has really helped with injury prevention as well.
- Stair climbers are my next go to for a hard but great workout.
- Ellipticals are also easy on the knees but are a little boring for me.
