Depends on your goals.....
HIIT is good, can be used with any type of cardio
try it one or two times a week
do what ever you enjoy doing, maybe mix it up, so it doesnt get boring to do.
I do bike, treadmill, stepper, cross trainer etc.etc.

Yeah, good advice. Only problem is my gym is whats know as a iron gym. this is where the gym has only weights and weight machines, no CV machines.

i got the opposite problem, plenty of CV machines not that many weights
they are getting some new stuff in soon, so hoping to get a bit more weights

Running outside, you can still apply HIIT to it

I have been told seperating your cardio from your lifting will yeild the best results. So either do it with 8 hours inbetween or on completely seperate days.
