I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don’t know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.

I especially agree with exercise has to be a priority. It really does, and it really makes a difference in your overall life and well-being. Not so sure about #1 – for me, personally, the more cardio, the better. (Within reason, of course.) I go for about an hour, about 5 days a week.

Thanks for the article. I used to be the cardio queen, but now I’ve ventured into the weight room. I love doing both cardio and weights. I feel strong after lifting weights and it feels so dang good!

I agree, fitness has to be a daily goal. If the President has time to get in a workout, so can you. I see many people that work out every day but still don’t lose weight. Bottom line, you have to write down your caloric intake every day and if you are not losing weight then lower the calories. Its really simple but hard to do when you feel like you are starving. But, that IS the secret.

The title bothered me a bit, too. These are mistakes anyone can make, especially those new to fitness, and I’ve seen people of both genders making them. (Self included, *cough*too-intense-workout-Monday-that-still-has-me-sore*cough*.)

My questions:
- What’s the proper balance between “too much cardio” and “too little intensity”? It seems to me that high-intensity cardio might also stress the body. (In fact, sometimes the stress of a hard workout raises blood glucose levels instead of lowers them in people with diabetes.)
- Are these “mistakes” related more to the goal of losing body fat vs. training for athletic events? It would be good to understand the context of these remarks. For example, if one is a triathlete, can one’s body ever be *too* efficient at running, biking, and swimming?

I am still stuck on how much cardio is too much?? I would love to hear Dr. Paul’s answer. In fact I wish he had said the answer in his point. It was kind of a teaser…leaving me thinking about this dilemma for 2 days now. Also I have to say I am guilty of loving my elliptical and nothing else. I hope to work on this in February and as the warmer weather comes this spring.

I can totally relate with the “too much, too soon” bit. I don’t have a regular exercise routine and I tend to pile them all up when I do get around to doing it. And I agree about switching things up– it’s always good to have a wide variety of exercise routines so our muscles won’t get too used to things.
