Definitely helps get out the lactic acid. I'd say if you're sore it's fine but if ur half crippled and it hurts just to touch your quad, maybe take it easy. Lol

I do at least a half hour of intense cardio 7 days per week, even when bulking - I just eat more.
There are so many reasons that cardio is a must for me. My cardiovascular system is what gets blood (and hence oxygen) and nutrients to my muscles and organs so keeping it strong and healthy is a priority.
Light cardio will help increase circulation aka blood flow which leads to better muscle recovery. The two best things for recovery are heat and compression and both conveniently enough increase the effects of your circulatory system. I have been doing a long, purely aerobic trail run once a week on Sundays for recovery and some extra non-intense conditioning. I always feel so much better afterwards. The same can be said for a nice easy swim or a low-intensity bike ride.
