Cardio Questions - How Much Cardio Should I Do

fitness-advice Question:
I'm 5'10 and about 145 pounds. I'm wondering about how often I should concentrate on cardio (jogging/ walking) This week I ran about 11 miles (split in 3 days), and paired that with 19 brisk walking miles. Is this enough for adequate fitness training? How many miles/days should I exercise per week?

fitness-advice Answer:
If your main goal is to get lean, then your cardio program sounds great. Jogging/running is one of The best forms of burning serious calories and dropping body fat. However, If your goal is to add muscle mass, then at your weight I would recommend cutting back on your cardio and focusing on weight training to add mass and strength.
