'sup /fat/ties.

I've started beefing up my gym 'schedule' to include a lot more weights work (resistance training, not free weights) but I try to warm up with some fairly light cardio work. Usually on the bikes as I'm paranoid about the running on treadmills infront of people and the Cross Trainer's do my tits in while the rowing machines chafe my hands to shit.
I put it on level 10 and away I go. Thing is, I can never do more than 5-10 minutes. I suck at cardio, I suck so bad.

My question to you /fit/ is this, how can I increase my stamina so I can continue on the cardio for say, 20 minutes more. Secondly, I go to the gym to bulk up (I don't need to lose weight, I'm 5'8" and 63kg) so is cardio really important? How much should I be looking to do?

Help me out /fit?

Well...you do need to warm up beforehand, I guess, but honestly it would be better to do your major cardio after your strength training.

Since you're not fat, you really don't need to do a lot of cardio...you need to do cardio basically just for "maintenance"...to keep yourself from gaining too much body fat while you're trying to gain muscle. So, you really don't need to do a whole lot.

Thanks anon.
Can you tell me why it's better to do cardio after my weights workout than before?
I want to be able to do 20 minutes of cardio work one way or another.

why not split it 10 mins before and 10 mins after?
cardio is a good warm up that will prevent injury.

Okay, its pretty simple.
1. Stretch, and Warm up on the Stationary bike for about 10 minutes.
2. Get on the treadmill and run for 10 minutes at a speed thats good, then walk for 20.
3. Gradually increase, if you do this within a month you can make it 20 minute run, 10 minute walk, and then a 30 minute run, and so on.
4. Once you can do 5-6 miles constantly, or 50-60 minutes straight, restart at a speed thats half a mile faster at a 20 minute run, 10 minute walk.
5. Repeat until desired speed is acheived
