How many days out do people stop cardio?

Just wondered how many days before a show people stop doing cardio generally?
 
There is no fixed rule, some do cardio up to 3 or 4 days before, but it is advisable to reduce the time and intensity of it.
 
Depends on YOU and how much stress you have put on your body up to this point with cardio and training.
 
If you've been fasting cardio for weeks, it may be a good idea to keep doing it, walking 30 minutes is not going to cause problems in your peak week and can certainly help you manage stress.

At this point you should forget about the idea of doing cardio to burn fat, if that's the case, you have miscalculated your prep weeks.

@tom1234 post up a pick of yourself, how far out you are from show, and weight if needing to make weight for a class, and current cardio schedule and type and intensity.
 
Usually anywhere from5-7 days precontest
BUT
It all depends on how you are looking
 
Anyone ever keep cardio in until the day before the show? Just ramping down the time. On Thursday and Friday just keep it very light and non strenuous to help process the amount of carbohydrates? If travelling, 20 minutes at the hotel for example - Thurs / Fri ?

I don't see why that should be a problem, some guys will even lift on Thursday to help with the load.
 
I've stopped 4-5 out and also continued until day before.
I've always trained until 2 days out
