Walk 5,000 to 10,000 steps daily and add 1 to 3 low-intensity cardio sessions of 15 to 30 minutes per week, ideally after lifting or on rest days. Skip cardio before weights, and remember diet matters more than how much you exercise.

If you're trying to lose fat and build muscle at the same time, then here's exactly what your weekly cardio routine should look like. First, before you worry about any other cardio, you should be trying to walk 5,000 to 10,000 steps per day because this is the best way to increase your metabolism. Number 2, you can then look to add in 1 to 3 days a week of extra cardio, like one of these pieces of equipment here for about 15 to 30 minutes. And this cardio should be done after you lift weights or on a rest day. Doing too much cardio before will negatively impact you building muscle. And number 4, despite what most people think, this cardio should be done at a low intensity and low heart rate versus a high intensity, high heart rate. Too much high intensity means you can't recover from your weightlifting and it leads to way more cravings. And number 5, please do not think you can out-cardio a bad diet.
