Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below I have been lifting weights for almost 2 years and a half, and have never done cardio(I started out 6 foot 150 pounds so you would see why i wouldnt want to do any cardio whatsoever).Right now i am almost near 200 pounds, but some of that is fat(i have some fat under my chin, which i dont know how that happened because even though im not shredded with a 6 pack, i dont have a gut at all).I was planning to start running 2 days a week. I was hoping someone could tell me how much running i should do each day which will allow me to loose some bodyfat but not too much(Ive heard that too much cardio can cause you too loose muscle mass and that is the main thing i am worried about.)My diet is in pretty good shape. I was eating to gain alot of mass, but starting Monday i am going to cut back on the portions I am eating to help me get more lean..Thanks for reading and feedback.

Do cardio either in the morning before eating or straight after your workout. because these are the times when our bloodsugar levels are at theire lowest, and the body dips into your fat storages for energy straight away. but to make sure your body aint burning muscle for energy you have to keep the cardio light. no hard running og cycling or anything. keep your hearthrate between 60-80% of max hearth rate...in other word, you should be able to keep up a conversation while doing it. start out with 20 minutes session..and gradually build it up to 40 minutes..no more.
Do cardio if you are worried about your cardiovascular endurance or efficiency. If you are worried about the fat...clean up your diet.
