Medicine has known the value of regular exercise for thousands of years, but only recently have we gained a better understanding of how much is enough and how much is too much.

If you do at least a few hours of resistance training per week, you should view cardio as supportive, not essential, and you should do enough to reach your goals (and enjoy yourself, if you like endurance exercise) but not more.

For most people, that means doing no more than one to two hours of HIIT or three to four hours of walking per week, or some combination thereof.

Not only will this regimen help you get into the best shape of your life, it’ll also leave you with plenty of free time to invest in other activities and pursuits, including relationships, family, and hobbies.

Remember that your health and fitness routines should enhance you and your life, not consume them!

Key Takeaways

If you just want to build muscle, lose fat, and be healthy, cardio is far less important than you might realize.

If you don’t particularly enjoy cardio, you should do as much as it takes to achieve your goals and no more.

A 17-to-27-minute session of high-intensity cardio, which mostly consists of low-intensity cooldown periods, burns more fat than 60 minutes of traditional bodybuilding cardio. This high-intensity style of cardio is known as high-intensity interval training, or HIIT, and the science is clear: it’s significantly more time effective for losing fat than traditional low-intensity steady-state cardio (LISS).
