Cardio amount ????

[mike honcho74]

I really hate doing cardio but I can really tell when I dont it affects my lifting ability stamina. My question is what would be a minimum amount to keep good heart health? I dont like running so I usually beat on the punching bag. lately I havent even been doing that and I can tell. For you guys that dont like cardio but have to do it what is your cardio days and workout like?

To keep good heart I would say do 3 times a week 40 minutes. Don't worry...you won't lose muscle with this amount.

Many people think they will lose muscle by doing too much cardio but that just isn't true.

Yeah its not true, especially if you keep your heart rate between 30-60%
