When you’re at a 500 calorie deficit (eating 500 calories less per day then your body requires to maintain its current condition) you will be losing 1 – 1.5lbs per week. The key to cardio while cutting is to keep it short and intense – I advise 2 – 3x per week of 20 minute intervals (sprints, skipping, burpees, cycling – the possibilities are endless and the choice is yours!). Long cardio sessions every day or every other day will result in a decrease in muscle mass. However the law of diminishing returns comes into full effect quite quickly – you should not be spending more time doing cardio than you are lifting weights.
