Question about cardio in new weight lifting workout routine.?

Hey guys, i recent;y started a new workout routine to get a little more fit. I'm not overweight, my BMI is about 15%, which i was told is in the normal range, but to be a bit more lean, i should stride for 8-9%. Now, at the same time i want to build some muscle, so my routine consists of a three day split, Monday, Wednesday and Fridays. Now my question is how should i fit cardio in this week? Only on my days off, two days a week, or should i go for the weekend too? Yesterday (Friday) i did legs, now my legs are pretty sore right now, but i could go for at least a jog now if i wanted to. Should i even bother, or should i just let them rest and recover the weekend? And by cardio i don't mean anything too stressful, about a half hour, 30 secs run, walk for 1 min and so on. Thanks, guys, any help would be appreciated, still trying to figure this whole thing out.

    Cardio is essential in losing weight (getting lean) as is diet. Low carb high protein and lots of vitamins. Fit in at least 30-40 minutes of cardio whenever you can and make sure you have someone with experience training you or giving you advice.
