How often does everyone do Cardio

[nyspqr]

Just curious how often everyone does cardio every week and for how long per session. I've been doing it 4 x per week at 30 mins. Anyone think this is too less, too much? Thoughts?

60 minutes a day 7 days a week off season (2x30). 90-120 minutes a day 7 days a week precontest.

2 x 30 mins. Would that be 30 am and 30 pm ?

[FireGuy]

Yes, 30 first thing in the morning and 30 PWO. I am currently doing 50/30 as I am 9 weeks out from my next contest. Normally my 2nd session would be longer right now but doing it HIIT so keeping it a bit shorter.

I do that same amount too. I read somewhere that your body does not start to reallywork out until after 20 mins of cardio, so a 30-45min or even more is suggested...can't find the source atm

Treadmill? Elliptical machine? Other?

I like to do 30 min. HIIT 5x week after my workouts. I make sure to bring my post wo shake with me. I will either go on the indoor track or run around my neighborhood.

All the above. On a 60 minute session I will usually use 3 different pieces of equipment.

Typically I'll run 20-30 mins upon waking up, later in the day I will run and/or swim 30-40 mins. Every day except when I train legs I do no cardio. If I feel I really blew my load in a workout I'll take some cardio off. Typically though I'd say 5-6 days a week of 30-70 mins a day.

As long as I take an eca stack I'm able to keep lean so cardio only happens when I lift weights hard enough to call it cardio

[frsttmer]

2 times a week minimum, 30 mins but after seeing these posts I'm going to do more

[controlit]

5-10 hours a week.
