For people whose primary fitness activity is lifting or sports: how much cardio do you do? Specifically, what do you do, for how long, and how often?
My primary fitness activity is a sport (recreational, 3x a week), with lifting 2-3x a week. I’m trying to do more LISS cardio outside of these for general cardiovascular health and possibly improved stamina.
Edit: Thanks for all the replies, y’all!
Primary activity is lifting, mostly to keep healthy not for some specific size/strength/etc target.
I always include cardio as my warmup before each workout. Nothing ridiculous here, its a warmup. I work out 3 days a week like that, then the other 3 are more cardio with some bodyweight stuff in there, so depending on what I feel like hitting…
I get a minimum of 20 minutes of cardio at about 130-140bpm daily, which is the target I want to hit. Usually more like 40-60 though. On rest days (not cardio/workout days) its pure rest though.
This sounds similar to what I do – a short warmup before lifting and then 20-30 minutes afterward. Thanks for sharing.
