that trainer is mental. I reguarly do over an hour's aerobic training and I'm 14. For aerobic stuff you might want to invest in a heart rate monitor and train in specific zones (60%-70%?) + a lot of monitors tell you how many calories you're burning, so I would recommend keeping a diary of what you're eating and all the info on that food, so then you know what you need to replace, plus if you want to build a lot of muscle then I think it's about 1.8 grams of protein per kg of body weight.

Is 60 minutes too much cardio?
- Thread starter jimk022

No, at 60 minutes you won't burn muscle. But when 61 minutes rolls around, you start to burn muscle like something serious.
That trainer was probably being just very vague. Like Rick said, there are people that do cardio for much longer than 60 minutes and burn nothing.
The type of cardio you're doing, the intensity of it, as well as environment (heat plays it's part, for example) all play a SIGNIFICANT role.

I just rechecked this after a year and looked at all the good advice I was given since the last time I checked this post. Because I am limited in time and want to get in my 60 minutes of cardio, I do a short session of strength training each day I work out. I am now at 60 pounds--up from 30 when I started.
I think the trainer just wanted to sell me some training sessions with him. I'm keeping up with my 60 minutes a day and almost doing it 6 days a week--sometimes I slack off and only do it 5 days.
Thanks for all the great insight. I appreciate it.

Ok, let's think about logically. To burn body fat, you must take in less calories than you burn, right? You need to be at a slight calorie deficit each day. Now the trick is to take in few enough calories to burn fat but not so little that you lower your metabolism. This is controlled all through diet.
On the other hand, you want to keep your body moving enough to burn more calories. The trick here is to do this while maintaining or increasing lean muscle mass. You see, muscle is what is going to burn the calories.
If you do too much cardio, your body will start to shed muscle mass. This is a fact. The key is to balance between cardio and resistance training. I like to combine the two.
I do think an hour is a bit much for burning fat. I think shorter, higher intensity training is the best blend of resistance and cardio.
Really take a look at what you are eating and when. Diet is probably the biggest factor in weight loss.

So as I cardiac nurse can I remind you that the most importrant purpose for cardio exercise is to keep your heart working.. The CDC recommends a MINIMUM of 2hrs 30 min a week of moderate intensity or 1hr and 15 min of vigorous intensity cardio exercise each week..and for greater benifits 5hrs of moderate intensity or 2hrs 30 min of vigorous intensity cardio exercise each week. Howerver there is no such thing as too much cardio.. it's the most important thing you can do for yourself. No point in looking good if your heart doesn't work
