Building Muscle - Do I still need Cardio
| Fri, 07-08-2005 - 7:44pm |
I am fairly thin, 5'5" 115 lb and pretty happy with that weight. My main goal is gaining some muscle. I do weights and cardio about 4 days a week. I have some guy friends who do only weights, no cardio, and have done great things in terms of gaining muscle. But obviously women's bodies are different. Unfortunately, most of the info out there is geared towards men.
I don't have much body fat, and I am afraid that if I do too much cardio I will just be burning my muscle. Is this a legitimate concern or is cardio too important for overall health to skip?

I was addressing the issue of the importance of cardio.
