How much cardio?

[dlsc]

Do I need to maintain my fitness level which I'm happy with. I'm doing 4-5 x's/wk @ 45mins.to an hr. Also do weights for upper & lower body & abs. Is this too much? Thank you for your opinions.

Well, everybody's different & I wouldn't necessarily say it's too much--I mean, your cv system is still benefitting from the cardio exercise. But to maintain you could probably cut out 1-2 cardio workouts & not have any weight gain.

Linda,
Here is a link of the same question that I asked Cathe and she replied.

I hope this link works. If not it is under Ask Cathe and the subject is simply Cardio. As of this reply it is on page 2

Thanks for your replies. I did see Cathe's answer. In fact that is what made me think I'm doing too much cardio. 20 mins. 3x's a week sounds pretty good to me.
