    ^ agreed vary your cardio, on days you weight train do some hiit cardio about 15-20 mins, you'll be surprised by how much it works and burns alot more fat and weight then traditional cardio. I burn more calories in 20mins doing Hiit cardio then other people I see at the gym on the treadmill daydreaming for an hour. Its shorter time the traditional cardio and gets alot better results.

    On your off days though you could stick to your steady state cardio for about 30-60mins of it.

    and that puts you at a higher risk of muscle loss while dieting if you aren't careful, but the OP is 230lbs, he has a bit of fat to lose, so his approach would be different than yours - namely, he can get more aggressive with training and calorie deficits without risking lean mass.

    cardio helps you get closer to your caloric goal. its not a cure-all end-all. but it helps. lifting heavy things is priority- exercise wise. make sure you're eating correct above everything else.

    Looking good. 10lb in a month is awesome. Why change what is obviously working. Add cardio when progress slows down.

    IF you don't care about muscle loss go ahead and do hours of cardio. But if you want to maintain strength and as much muscle as possible, lift heavy at least 3 days a week and then do cardio after and on days you don't lift. Give yourself 2 days rest. If you do it right you can lose a lot of fat and keep some lean muscle.

    In some cases like mine, I've never had a lot of fat, so I've gained weight while decreasing waste size and looking better in the mirror. clothes and a mirror are usually your best gauge for success of a program and diet. not the scale.

    cardio is not really about time but intensity at which ur body burns fat fastter and times will vary according to how quickly u tire out or regain energy to go for another round of HIIT.

    and on a side note.. if u just do 5-10 mins of high sprinting suicides (basketball/football/soccer exercise). I found sprint suicides hardder to do for 5-10 mins than just runnin couple miles at a descent clip of speed. plus side u dont need a huge track to do suicides just a basketball court size area is enuff.

    Why does everybody assumes the more cardio you do the better? Seriously bro, calm down with the cardio, muscles give shape to the body, cardio will strip the fat in conjunction with the nutritional program so a balance must be strucked, otherwise your body will go into a catabolic state, ASSUMING THAT YOUR EATING WITHIN A CALORIE DEFICIT....

    Cardio should be perform 4 to 5 times a week, on empty stomach or post weight training session, glycogens will be depleted, a simple sprint of 15 to 20 minutes is enough. Don't do cardio on leg days, your nutritional program should be on check....
