newbie questions about cutting up

[wanna b surfer]

i am just wondering if there is such a thing as too much cardio. i know that if you do intense cardio for more than a half hour you lose muscle. but is doing cardio daily bad? sometimese people say they are trying to get cut, so they do cardio two or three times a week for half an hour. basically i am wondering if doing cardio every day will get you cut faster than doing cardio a few times a week. also, is there a difference between high rep/low weight vs. high weigh/low rep weightlifting for getting cut.

I wouldn't do cardio every day of the week because you need to give your body atleast one day each week to recover and recooperate. I would suggest only doing cardio 5 days each week.

thank you for your reply. i was also wondering, if cutting up was my only goal, would it be better to lift lower weight high reps?

No. Lower weights/high reps is a myth, for the most part anyway. When cutting, you adjust your diet and amount of cardio. Lift as you normally would.

always take 1 day off each week to replenish glycogen

Training light while cutting will lead to further muscle loss, that's a tough lesson it took me more than once to learn. When cutting I still train as heavy as I can but cut the rest periods between sets as low as I can to keep my heart rate up.
