For people whose primary fitness activity is lifting or sports: how much cardio do you do? Specifically, what do you do, for how long, and how often?

My primary fitness activity is a sport (recreational, 3x a week), with lifting 2-3x a week. I'm trying to do more LISS cardio outside of these for general cardiovascular health and possibly improved stamina.

Edit: Thanks for all the replies, y'all!

I'm a competitive powerlifter and have been doing CrossFit once a week or so for cardio.

Cool! I'm not familiar with crossfit, is the cardio like a weight training circuit?

Kind of! They usually throw together a mixture of activities for time. So the workout might be something like "20 wall balls, 10 dumbbell snatches, then a run around the building" with 1 minute rest in between rounds. They change up the workouts every time, and it's in a big room where everyone else is doing the workout with loud music. It makes it motivating.
