Is this an OK way to do cardio?
I usually warm up for about 2 minutes then I exercise (jog, bike, elip, whatever for the day) at about 70-80% max HR for 20 minutes. I dont really do intervals like in HIIT I just keep an eye on my HRM and maintain my HR in that range. Oh and I usually do my cardio first thing in the morning on an empty stomach even if I have hunger pains. Some people tell me this is fine others tell me I'm eating away my muscle.
Some help please

Yes there's a lot of different oppinions on this. Also Imo you need a min of 30 min's or more of cardio. 45-60 min's is even better
