Caffine is a stimulant. Too much can make your heart start to beat too fast, smong other things.

i'd stop taking it if i were you. if your heart is beating faster than usual, it's probabaly not a good sign. talk to your doctor and maybe he/she can find you something that will help you lose a few pounds without dangerous side effects...

You've answered your own question.  If done in moderation and rotated with low-impact cardio along with weight training, you should be O.K.  However, in my younger days, the only cardio I did was high-impact.  This proved to be adversarial.  Although I got in shape, my ankles, knees, hips, and lower back could no longer take the punishment.  My cardio now consists strictly of low-impact exercises, and weight training.

Like any other muscle, your heart & lungs can use a break every now and then too.  I'd keep any HEAVY running to a maximum of 5 times a week.  Light jogging can be done daily however.

i find cardio abit boring sometimes. I mainly love weight training, ur bench press, squating etc. Try moving about on different machines with ur cardio, so one day u do bike, another running, anther day rowing machines etc etc, therefore u will keep at ur training alot more :D\n\nMichael

not totally true, if you're trying to bulk up then you may want cut back on the cardio but a good mix of heavy weight lifting and cardio (and good high protein diet) will give you a healthy looking muscular bod.

As a personal trainer I have seen this and heard this from 99% of my clients one time or another while im training them. I tell them all the same thing, Ok you messed up, its one day, there is nothing you can do about blowing your diet for today, you start fresh tomorrow. As long as you are not messing up everyday this isnt a major set back here. Dont beat yourself up over this.\nRule of thumb for me is 80% of the time I eat good, and i allow myself 20% of the time to not be perfect. So 5 days good and 2 days not so perfect. Remember no one is perfect and everyone makes mistakes.\nGood cardio however would be Running, Biking, Walking (at a good pace) or anything that gets your heart rate up  just remember your limits and dont try anything that your body isnt used to. If your not used to heavy cardio know your limits.

Mostly weigfht training, cause Cardio is to slim you down.  Also you can eat carbs, but make sure they're healthy carbs like rice, pastas, and so on.\n\nConsult with a doctor for sure.  Make sure someone with experience/knowledge is keeping an eye on you.

What happens when I run to much

A safe bet, is to workout 3 times a week doing cardio and weights on the same night.\n\nOr do 3 nights (Mon, Wed, Fri) using weights and do 3 nights (Tue, Thurs, Sat) doing cardio.\n\nJust don't do weights 2 nights in a row. Let the muscles relax.

You might want to try a more balanced diet.  If you do a lot of cardio, you might want to switch to weights and go on weight gainer.  It sounds like you might have a fast metabolism and it can be hard to gain weight.

You know this answer -- we all do.  But few have the discipline to do it.\n\n30 min to 1 hr of cardio and strength-training every other day.  Push to your own limit.  When lifting weights, use good form, slow and steady pace -- less weight and more reps for leaner, longer muscles -- heavy weights with reps to the very edge of fatigue for bulk.\n\nEat lots of fresh fruits and veggies, and avoid salt, trans-fats and processed foods.

Weights, then cardio. If you're tired from the cardio workout, then lifting weights can be dangerous. I'd actually suggest you give yourself seperate days, possibly do your weight lifting/body sculpting activies on one day, and then do the cardio work on another.

Have you asked your cardiologist what he or she suggests? The water aerobics thing is a good form of exercise but what was to happen if you passed out...in the pool?! Good luck to you!

I do a lot of weight lifting and moderate cardio.  I want to have an average bodyfat but a high strength and above average build.  Sooo more weight lifting moderate cardio.  I have an entire weight lifting technique sheet that I keep saved on the computer if you like me to email it to you (i can't send attachments through here).  But keep your cardio 30-45 min overdoing cardio actually burns muscle and promotes cortisol (fat storing hormone) so overboard is bad(keep workouts/cardio total 1-1.5hrs).  The problem is keeping the diet in check because its one of the most important parts of keeping in shape.  \nIf your just starting out drink your water, drinking more water makes your body actually shed access water weight.  It tricks the survival mode of your body after it see's it gets water a lot it sheds what it doesn't think it needs anymore.  When working out or doing cardio weigh yourself before and after.  For every lb you loose drink 1 L of water throughout a couple hours(not all at one time). \nEat clean foods http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/stella9a.htm \nand have 5-6 meals a day which boosts metabolism.  \nFor weight training if your looking at toning up high reps lower weight.  Work 1-2 muscle groups a day 4-5times a week (until you hit all bodyparts in the week).  Don't overdo your ab workouts.  Many times people do abs like everyday... this actually breaks down the muscles because they haven't fully healed and then you turn around the next day and work them again.  You need to lower your overall bodyfat and BUILD the abs which the best ab building technique is roman chair situps.  But here is a good list of more techniques http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/abs1.htm\nOh forgot sleep... get your 7-8 hours every night.  when you sleep is the only time that your body recovers from all the cardio or lifting you did during the day.  Also working out in the morning burns more calories throughout the day than working out at night and going to sleep a few hours later.
