The key is to get into the best shape YOU reasonably can doing what YOU like to do.
I run a lot and its effected my lifting. Its a choice.
Some are obsessed with 6 pack abs Its a choice.
Some want squat 1,000lbs and cant run 2 miles. Its a choice.
Do what works for you and makes you happy is my advice. As long as you are active and working at being healthier you are doing more than 70% of this country.
That being said this is a "fitness" thread and in reality there isn't much fitness in it. Lifting alone is not fitness.

It all depends on what you consider fit. That isn't the discussion here though and I have no need to run a few miles....that isn't fit to me. Not to mention I never understood how the term "fit" got paired with cardiovascular training solely.
The discussion is those coming in here and touting that you NEED cardio to burn fat. That simply is not true. Cardio has it's place, especially if you enjoy it and that over-rides your goals for muscle mass/strength. But spouting that one must do cardio to be lean is what is sending most of us who post in this thread into hysterics. It simply isn't true and should not be handed out as advice.
