Whether you have time to go on a run outside or on the treadmill, cardio is an important part of most all training programs! I recommend adding in at least cardio 3 sessions per week along with 2-3 strength training sessions to get amazing results. HIIT cardio will get you even faster results if weight loss is your goal. Remember when starting any training program, consistency is KEY!
