In this short video, the speaker answers the question of how much cardio is needed for weight loss. He first emphasizes that the primary goal should be to achieve 5,000–10,000 steps per day, even on days when you are lifting weights. After meeting that baseline, he recommends adding 1–3 sessions per week of low‑intensity steady‑state (LISS) cardio lasting 15–30 minutes. This cardio should be performed after strength‑training workouts (or on rest days) and can be done on any cardio machine you dislike the least, keeping heart rate modest rather than high.
