Cardio & Gaining Muscle

[*Bunny*]

really?
but I love cardio lol

Trust me I have always LOVED cardio, but too much hurts more than helps me ...so I had to cut back and find other ways to release my stress etc.

My little cardio bunny in my sig gives me hope

depends on how many cals you eat.

I remember Shadow telling me once: "If you don't eat it, you don't have to burn it off."

I try to remind myself of that everyday...

EXACTLY right......cardio willkill muscle gains if taken to extremes OR even in moderation on a restricted cal diet due to the bump in cortisol
