Most pro bodybuilders do an hour per day for contest prep, but it's
really going to depend on your caloric intake......

If I recall correctly, men don't see a six pack until around 8% body
fat. To lose fat while keeping muscle I believe you need two tricks
OTHER than cardio: some sort of low-carb diet (like PSMF) while lifting
heavy. In other words, I don't think you need ANY cardio if your only
goal is to have a six pack.

Of course, if you also have the goal of having a healthy heart, half an
hour each day five or six times a day is a good plan.
