    Seems to me the general problem with this thread is that it is, in fact, too general. This is definitely not a question of always or never. In most cases you can probably do cardio without burning muscle. In some cases you will burn a little muscle.

    So I think everyone should try to take this post more personally. And by that I mean, before you enter into a cardio session, and then maybe again half way through, ask yourself, what are your chances that this cardio will cause my body to dig into muscle?

    Someone who's overweight and has recently eaten a big meal, probably doesn't have to worry too much.

    Me, a female, at 90 pounds and 11% body fat in a fasted state, probably should worry a little.

    Until somebody posts a link to a high quality RTC that demonstrates that a few weekly <60 minute sessions of cardio cause a statistically significant lose of muscle mass in the context a diet that has plenty of protein and an exercise regimen that includes resistance training, than we don't really know if it burns a significant amount of muscle or not.

    It's not accurate to try and determine if we lose a significant amount of muscle doing cardio by using our college biochem class to draw conclusions. Sure, gluconeogensis occurs, but how much does really it occur in a half hour cardio session? Furthmore, many very successful body builders do perform cardio. So obviously the effects can't be that detrimental.

    For the most part, 99% of the population probably doesn't have to worry about burning muscle by doing cardio less than one hour long.

    Cardio does burn muscle mass but that's not really saying much as protein turnover happens constantly, even while you sleep. I guess I should stop sleeping then...

    I pretty much agree with the OP. Coupling low calorie dieting (particularly if it lacks protein but also carbs) along with excessive amounts of cardio but omitting strength training at the same time is the real problem, not cardio in itself.

    I was not talking to you so stop ease dropping, man the nerve of some people. But since you're here, what debate? The whole first page was people pointing out that this is common knowledge and you have brought nothing new/interesting/different to the table. If this is the type of thread you are interested in here, let me contribute...ahem...Studies have shown you should stay well hydrated through out theday for a healthier lifestyle, doctors and experts agree to theaverage person consuming at least 8 glasses of water a day. Better?
