How Much Cardio Should I do?

TDUD2018

I weigh 209 and about 14% body fat. Body type is mesomorph. My goal is to get to 9-10% body fat. Eating about 2,600 calories a day. Weight train 6 days a week.

30 minutes 5 x a week is recommended.

I do 5 - 10 minutes of walking on the treadmill to warm up then hit weights. I get my heart pumping more doing squats, deadlifts, benching and other wait lifting than walking on the treadmill.

Cardio is overrated

If you have no other performance related goal, this is it. Also, somatypes have been completely debunked.

Yeah who gives a *kitten* about heart health?

Would help if you told people what you are doing cardio for.
For health minimum, for health optimum, for particular fitness goals, to get to eat more, to play a sport????

BTW - you aren't a mesomorph, just a human being like the rest of us.

Does the BMI formula and chart work the same for dogs? Does it vary by breed?
