ATTN. SwoleCat
Hey Swole what do you recommend for cardio? I have been doing some searches and it looks like 3 days a week (non lifting days) for 30 minutes in the morning is where it's at. Am I correct?
Is 30 minutes too much? Should I drop it to 20 minutes?

Well, anyone can answer. It's just I know his accomplishments and I know he works with athletes. And seeing I am an athlete, just getting back into USA/Amateur boxing, I would like his opinion. If you wanna help feel free smoke.

How long you do cardio, and how many days, depends on 2 things:
1) The TYPE of cardio you are doing.
2) Your goals in general, I.E. your fitness goals.

I am training for another amateur boxing match. I am boxing training 5 days a week. I plan on after my boxing training, run on the treadmill for 30 minutes.
My goal isn't so much fat loss, but rather to get my wind up for my battles in sparring and in matches.
What do you think Swole?

I plan on running RIGHT AFTER my boxing training on the treadmill for 30 minutes, starting at 6 mph and gradually every week increase the pace. I will be doing this 5 days a week.

Well, if you are not doing cardio for fat loss, then eat something before you do this so when you are running you aren't fueling your cardio session by way of lean muscle mass.

But is 30 minutes on the treadmill after my boxing sessions (5 days a week) enough?

For stamina I would think it would be, yes. Keep in mind that's my view on it knowing absolutely nothing about your physical condition, conditioning overall, etc.

If you want to increase your "wind" doing regular cardio where you maintain a steady heart rate is not the best aproach. First of all forget the thread mill, that wont help you much. You should be doing a fartlek run, get your self on some rolling terrain where you'll be able to go up and down hills and some flats. You should also change your tempo during the run, and if you have a pacer you should do calisthenics every 400-500 meters on your 30min runs. And try to still run at least 3 miles during these 30min with all of the calisthenics (about 10-12 sets). Doing this 3 times a week will give you a very strong cardiovascular stamina in a pretty quick time.
Good luck.
