Well your job is concerned with physical labour so that basically demands alot of you in terms of your anaerobic capacity. Correct me if im wrong, but youre probably working long ass shifts and will most likely be drained of energy at the end of the day. Cardio is going to take the life outta you so you wanna stay hydrated and get your meals in during the day. Get your carbs, fats and protein in every meal, and at the end of the day, you just might have the energy you need for a good cardio workout.

Anything that involves repeated movements for a long duration of time will work your cardiovascular endurance to some degree. For starters, try the elliptical.. Its a great low-impact way of getting your cardio in, and is a great way to transition back into the cardio training. Stairmaster is also good. Because you havent done cardio for such a long time, your physiology probably wont be used to the repetitive impact of running and jogging just yet. If you need some more info, hit me up with a PM. Im also a certified personal trainer, so if youre interested, i could offer a few sessions for you at a really low rate. Let me know!
