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!
I try to lift every other day. Every time I lift I do 15 minutes of exercise bike.
I also try to walk about 1 hour every day. I don’t aim for a step number just be outside and moving for an hour is good for me.
I run 3x/week, weight lift 2x/week, and if I have extra time and energy for it I’ll also do something just for fun like hiking or step aerobics. I enjoy cardio a lot more than weight lifting, but have accepted that I need to be doing some form of strength training to maintain my health as I age.
I try and hit the gym twice a week (where I exercise every muscle group on both occasions), and I try to run twice a week (a 5k and an 8k-10k). I don’t really have any goals, just trying to get and then stay healthy.
I walk at least 3-4 miles every day, often more. That’s usually a 30-45 minute walk, on top of the usual walking around in the apartment and such. Combined with lifting weights 4 days/week, it does the job.
Mountain biking twice a week, lifting 3x a week.
