Thread: How much is too much cardio?

I don't think you should reduce your cardio. If you CAN do that much and you keep mixing it up to keep your body guessing, why not?

Do you lift also?

Yep, I sure do! Lift that is..
about four times a week.. This is my split:

Monday: Back & Chest
Wednesday:Biceps & triceps
Thursday: Legs
Sunday: Shoulders & abs

Comments and tips very welcome!

Realised I posted this in the nutrition section.. oops, I did it again..mistake....

Where do you find the time?

I know that if I did that much cardio, I would lose muscle!

Remember, as far as getting lean/defined, your diet is more important than cardio.

------------------
Just because the majority believes it, does not make it true!

What kind of food should you eat if you are wanting to become more defined? I have been trying to bulk up for the last couple of months, eating lots of carbs. I put on about a stone in weight which I wanted but also ended up with a fat belly. Now that summer is almost here I want to loose the belly and become more defined. I have started doing more cardio but I am unsure about how to change my diet. Should I just try and really cut done on carbs and increase protein? I am unsure so any help would be appreciated,
thanks,
AC.

Man, don't know why, but the thought of sweat running down a fine women's body is a major turn on for me.

I remember when I started the running kick, I would run for 1 hour at a time for like 5 times a week with good intensity.
I lost like 40lb but I know at least half of that was muscle.

If you want to continue doing that much cardio, maybe you could cut it back to like 30-45 min per time, this way your not depleting your energy stores so much that your body starts to use the protein from your muscles for energy.
