Hey there guys!
![]() I have a question about cardio.... I usually have 6 sessions a week for about 60 minutes each time.. Mostely spinning and mountainbiking, but also stuff like running and Aerobicboxing. Is this too much? ![]() I'm one of those weirdos who just love cardio and feeling the sweat running down my body .. ![]() My goal is to get more definintion, but of course not loose muscle.. Am I burning away all that precious muscles as well and slowing down my results?? Should I decrease my cardio or not? ![]() Hope that someone will be able to help me!! ![]() Thanx guys! ![]() <font size="1">[This message has been edited by Nike_Girl (edited 05-21-2001).]</font> |

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? |

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. |

![]() 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. ------------------ Just another day in the gutter |
