How Often to Workout to Improve Cardio?

Maybe a really basic question, but how often should you work out to improve cardio/conditioning? I work at home so I can train whenever I like.

What kinda cardio? What’s your goal?

It depends. WIthout much of a base and just for general fitness 2x a week is an okay place to start. Some walking on top of that.

once a week is fine as a minimum as long as you’re pushing yourself.

If can workout ā€˜whenever’ this will give you sky high conditioning. Also check out his logs here under Alpha…

My weekly routine for the past few years has been 3 full body weights work outs and 2 to 3 sessions of escrima/jkd. A few months back I started training thai boxing 2 times a week and its a lot more intense than my previous martial arts. I’m finding my fitness is lacking when it comes to sparring and I was thinking about doing a few extra sessions each week, maybe something like one of Ross Enamait’s short conditioning work outs.

If you are focused on fight-related conditioning, then take a look at Joel Jamieson’s work. He’s worked with a lot of pro MMA fighters including Demetrious ā€œMighty Mouseā€ Johnson.
