Will this cause me problems in the future? PS: I have cut down on my caloric intake, and do not binge on food when I am done.

If one takes on excessive amounts of "cardio" activity...only to need a higher intake of calories to sustain...most being carbs...that is really not helping the overall fat burning environment. Much like the "gym" person who spends hours on a treadmill or spin class 5x a week....yet in 3 months looks the same. It's not working. Also the effectiveness includes the long term....as anyone can burn themselves out in 3 months and then gain all the weight right back. Then they are in worse condition than when they started (including possible adrenal issues that will make getting the fat off harder the next go round). Of course we are also not preaching everyone sit on their butt and do nothing. SMART exercise is the key....which can include lifting weights and shorter/intensity (as much as one can do for their level of course) based activity....along with a slower paced active lifestyle. It's amazing how quicker the body transformation changes can come about once people start doing smart exercise along with smart eating (which is really where the most results will come from).

After reading some of the responses, I can see many will hardly push their HR again and say they read that cardio is bad, ALthough I perfer strength training then spinning my wheels for a cardio workout, getting an 80 per cent Target heart rate going is a GOOD THING perhaps three times a week instead of seven. Cardio exercise will not help you lose weight but it will tune your body and correct health issues that will create a better operating system to burn calories and control insulin production (the fat trigger). Don't fool yourselves and keep from pumping the heart. I seriously doubt many here or on other forums like this will ever reach Chronic Cardio- they isn’t even a clear cut defination for it.

I got so tired of walking in circles, riding the stationary bike and making a game out of chasing the girl in front of me on the elliptical trainer, or pretending to climb to the top of the Eiffel Tower.

But this thought seems in contrast with the dominant lifestyle that says: No Pain No Gain. Look at this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOyrm4tl2ck More with less! That means efficiency in happiness. Great article.

I completely agree with sneakers being overly cushioned. Recently the arch of my foot has been hurting after running and I realized it was from the sneakers I was wearing. I would love to see an article about the best sneakers on the market and what makes a good running shoe. Great article. I completely agree with sneakers being overly cushioned.
