    You will be okay. Nothing major. Depending on how meticulous you are with your routine, I would probably just use today to further recovery. Another view, the cardio will probably make your legs feel better. Two sides to every coin!

    I usually dont do cardio the day after legs. They need the recovery after a HARD workout. When Im cutting this is the day that I dont do cardio... the day after legs.

    I do cardio the morning of my leg day and the morning after.

    No problems for me.
