Spin class (30 mins)

    I found this article from body building.com helpful. Basically it depends on your goals. If fat loss is your goal you should lift and least twice a week and limit moderate/high impact cardio to 20-30min 4-5 days a week. Apparently the extra cals used for recovery is eaten up by the cardio.

    I noticed this myself. I started losing muscle doing moderate and high impact everyday. So I started sticking with low impact mostly and 2 days of high impact.

    Hope this helps.
