Hello,
In the article ' **Where should my priorities be to improve my health?’** I noticed that the cardio recommendations were 150-300 minutes of moderate cardio or 75-150 minutes of vigorous cardio.
I am currently using the strength I template and it only asks for 30 minutes of steady state cardio@6 and 14 minutes of hill sprints once a week.
Do I really need to start doing more cardio or am I just overthinking and should carry on with what the template originally prescribes?
My primary goal is to get stronger.

It depends how much physical activity you’re getting in per week outside of the gym, but in general yes, we would recommend folks being more active 🙂
