About Cardio Workouts

Cardio works best boring: about 150 minutes of easy effort weekly, plus one harder session if you enjoy it. Easy means conversational — if you can't talk, slow down.

Walking counts fully. Runners are made by months of easy miles, not by heroic weekend efforts.

Cardio Workout FAQ

How much cardio per week?

Around 150 minutes of moderate effort, or 75 vigorous — or any mix. Walking covers the moderate part.

Is running bad for knees?

Gradual running strengthens knees in most people; pain means backing off and progressing slower, not quitting.

Fast or slow for fat loss?

Total weekly minutes matter more than intensity. Pick the pace you'll repeat.

Should I do cardio before or after lifting?

Lift first for strength goals; separate days entirely is even better when possible.
