On a beginner muscle building program the best type of cardio to do is interval sprints two to three times per week. Intervals will help you to consume more food while making it easier for your body to store the carbohydrates you eat as new muscle instead of bodyfat.
For fat loss: One to 3 sets of 10 to 12 reps using enough weight that you can only complete the desired reps. To gain muscle: Three or more sets of 6 to 8 reps to fatigue.

For health and endurance: One to 3 sets of 12 to 16 reps using enough weight that you can only complete the desired reps.
