The use of "lo" in this sentence

"Y es algo que lo hago en los fines de semana." I don't understand why "lo" is used in this sentence. Can it be "Y es algo que hago..."? Is it because the activity implied in "es" is not stated? Thanks in advance!

I'm waiting for a native speaker to answer. I think I would say "Y es algo lo que hago..." - Jubilado, Sep 23, 2013

It doesn't sound good.
You can use:
Y es algo de lo que hago los fines de semana.
Y es algo que hago los fines de semana.

The phrase works perfectly without "lo", for me the most natural sentence is:
- "Y es algo que hago los fines de semana": And it is something that I do on weekends
The use of "lo" can add a bit of emphasis, but to sound natural you need to make a stress when speaking in "que lo hago"
