Its not about burning calories, or burning fat ... hell, its not even about improving your heart, the "cardio" part of "cardiovascular".
Its about angiogenesis of capillaries within in the muscle. And therefore everything improves: work capacity while training, and more blood into muscle at all times, more nutrients, aminio acids, glucose, etc is shuttled in and out faster. Improves insulin response / glucose sensitivity.
Start with 20 min of light easy cardio (you should be able to carry on talking to someone).
Build up to 35-40 minutes over 2 week. Do it 2x/week.
This is so easy there should not be any interference effect whatsoever.
