Was this overdoing it?

[Anonymous]

After I finished with my strength training regimen yesterday (chest/tri/shoulders), I did a bit over an hour of cardio. Approximately 20 minutes of it was high intensity and the rest was moderate intensity. Did I overdo it?

So long as you rest today, you have no problem with overdoing it. It's hard to overdo cardio. Your body will tell you by how much it hurts today if that was too much, but fr someone in good shape, I doubt you'll be hurtng very much.

Best Answer right?

You can only overdo it if you're body is giving in and you push forward risking injury. If you don't get that far, just eat plenty of protein and rest adequately.

Well did you feel overworked? I'd say if you felt fine afterwords and you feel good today then you didn't overdo it. Everyone is different and we each have our own limits when it comes to working out.

Listen to your body. what constitutes "overdoing it" is different for everyone.

Honestly after all was said and done I had plenty of energy left to go. I didn't feel at all like I overtaxed myself.

[ivarei]

What are your goals?

[Asker]

Getting rid of the spare tire and adding some (not a lot) lean muscle. Fat burning comes before muscle building in the priorities.

I guess its probably okay. If you had more specific goals, this probably wouldn't be the optimal way to reach them, but whatever.

I'm too far away from any real goal I might set to set anything specific.
