Can too much cardio do more harm than good?
Going crazy with cardio is not a good idea. If you need to shed fat, get your diet in order first. Cardio is highly catabolic, and if done improperly, your body will burn muscle instead of fat for fuel. That’s never a good thing. But the real problem with cardio is that it’s highly individual. Nothing works the same for different people. Cardio is a necessary evil, so you might as well do it right. Experiment and find out which type and duration of cardio works for you. There is a very fine line between melting fat and burning valuable muscle. Find that line, and stay on the good side of it. There’s nothing worse looking than a skinny fat guy. But still, diet is the key.
