If you’re spending hours at the gym on the treadmill, attending back-to-back boot camps each week or simply pushing yourself to sweat as much and as often as possible and STILL aren’t seeing the results you’d hoped for, you may need to ask yourself — How Much Cardio Is Too Much?
According to today’s guest, Leslie Ann Quillen — host of the podcast Get To The Point with Leslie Ann and creator of the Fat Loss Lifestyle School, women are overdoing it in the cardio arena while failing to understand the importance of slowing down, stressing less and simply picking up heavy weights. In this episode we discuss:
We close out our discussion with a helpful preview of Leslie Ann’s recommendation for a more balanced approach to fitness that includes daily activity at the base, weight lifting in the middle and cardio at the tip of a pyramid-based visual for understanding how much cardio women should be doing.
I wrap up the show with a discussion on our decision to {finally} give my oldest son a cell phone, the Cell Phone Contract I’ve made available to listeners for free. I also discuss how applications like Verizon’s Smart Family app have helped me minimize the distractions that 24/7 cell phone access can be for a middle schooler.
