Is it okey for me to do cardio for 1 hour 2 – 3 times a day?

BlackForest asked:


If I do cardio in the afternoon when everyone is eating lunch… is it okey for me to go back to the gym 4 – 5 hours later to do another round of cardio?

For breakfast this morning I had about 2.5 slices of pizza which are 460 calories each — 1150 calories for breakfast!!!

Then… because I thought I needed protein and could not afford to buy meat, I went to Mcdonalds and had a cheese burger, as well I won a free hashbrown…; so ate that as well, and then had a medium tea with 2 creams…

I exercised for an hour and burned 600 calories…

Now I think I need to this for another 2 hours to burn off what I ate today for breakfast and lunch…

I am not an experinced athlete… I just started exercising 2 days ago… and I do it more to teach myself self-discipline then for any other reason… as I think I need to improve myself as a person.

I am 53, and 195 pounds… AFter about an hour of exercise, my calves and thighs are exhausted… The first round of exercise, the main difficulty is trying to breathe properly…

The second hour.. it’s muscle soreness…

I have never done a third hour of exercise… so I can’t say….

As well they say you need to work out a minimum of 40 minutes before you start burning fat… is the additional pain I feel around my upper and lower leg a sign that I’m burning fat or a sign that I’m burning muscle?
You guys are idiots… I don’t eat like that everyday… It’s just there was no food in the house other than these slices of pizza…

    1 hour of cardio is fine. Try to get it in 4-5 times a week.

    I don’t know if I’ve heard that you need to work out 40 minutes to burn fat. I don’t think that it’s true. All you need to burn fat is to burn more calories than you consume.

    It sounds to me like you have eating and exercise issues. Overdoing it like that will most likely lead to injury and derail any weight loss efforts.

    Try lowering your cardio workouts to 3 times a week (1 hour each) and adding light weight training/ resistance exercises.

    Good luck!

    No. Don’t over do it you will hurt yourself. You need to start slow and don’t starve your self. Spritually speaking, that is

    Pizza is a big fat zilch for dietary protein. There’s a little bit in the cheese, and a fraction in pepperoni and sausage, but none that isn’t far outweighed by FAT! It’s overloaded with fat and sodium so that regardless of the level of protein, you’ve ruined it with the rest of that crap. But since your body isn’t even going to be done processing it all today, doing all that today trying to head it off is ridiculous. You didn’t get fat overnight, so don’t expect you can take it off overnight. You just need to learn to make smarter choices.

    YOU COULD HAVE HAD A V8 AND STILL BURNED 1150 calories BY EXERCISING; AND YOU WOULD HAVE FELT MUST BETTER AND LIGHTER!

    EXERCISE SMART; GIVE-UP FOODS THAT [WON'T] HELP YOU LOSE WEIGHT.

    what is the purpose of working out so hard and so much when everything you eat is all wrong?

    All kinds of breads, cheeses, deep fried stuff, creams. Ridiculous and pointless.
