Cardio Sessions

cheekymonkai Posts: 24 Joined: 2005/07/20	2008/09/12, 02:19 PM Hey all, New question....I do about 45 mins of outside and inside biking or on the stepper. My question is how many cardio sessions is okay to do in a day?

That is research shows that it takes at least 3 cardio sessions per week to show endurance adaptations. More even better, but at some point if rest is not adequate, performance in all areas will suffer sue to exhaustion. As obvious as this sounds, many do not 'heed' this and so in essence overextend themselves. All of us are different, and at different periods in our lives have different recovery thresholds if we have not been an 'athlete' all our lives. -------------- Baseball is the only field of endeavor where a man can succeed three times out of ten and be considered a good performer
