cardio exercise
Can too much cardio exercise be harmful?

I have been doing a lot of cardio (at least 1hour a day sometimes more) and I’m definately not losing ANY weight and have even gotten sick. Can this be caused by too much exercise?
I mean got a cold/flu (in the middle of the summer?) not sick to my stomach

I think you’re overdoing it.

Too much of cardio exercise, you’re stripping off muscle; you aren’t burning off fat.

That’s why you aren’t losing weight because you’re probably losing your precious muscle, which is instrumental in helping to burn off more fat calories

(Note: Muscle is metabolically active, the more muscle you’ve, the higher your metabolism and the more fat calories you’ll burn).

If you’re stripping off muscles, the opposite happens.

Cardio 4-5 times per week for 30-45 mins, if you aren’t aim for weight loss. If you want to lose weight, increase the time to 60 mins per session but still keep to 4-5 times per week.
