How long should i do cardio and how long will it take?!
Question: I have been doing cardio with a jumprope 5 days a week maybe 6 now for 30 minutes a day. I want to burn fat on my stomach does cardio really do this?

in personal fitness, they say 20 minutes a day, every day. also you need 20 minutes of sunlight to produce vitamin D, so id suggest going for a run or bike ride or something outside for 20 minutes. 2000 calories is a typical diet, but if you just eat healthy things i couldnt worry too much about the calories, dont eat greasy fatty foods and you should be fine. ive never heard of cardio stopping muscle growth, and if youre looking to gain muscle only in your stomach than only do crunches every other day. muscle grows by damaging them during excercise and then they get built bigger and stronger as to prevent it next time, so the parts you excercise need a days rest to repair. and 6 glasses of water, i believe 8 ounces each, is recomended.
You should do at least 45 min. or 1 hr. Six times a week.
I hope you pass your goal. = )
you should do it 1 hour a day for 3-4 days a week
CARDIO IS CRAP.
Weight training is the way to go.
