If I do a lot of cardio will I lose muscles?
It's possible for you to lose muscle from doing too much cardio, but it's highly unlikely. Muscle proteins are broken down and used for energy during aerobic exercise. Thanks for using ChaCha, have a great day!

About Cardio
Cardio is short for cardiovascular -- having to do with the heart and blood circulation. Cardio exercise is necessary for keeping the heart strong and healthy, for helping to keep stress levels down, and for controlling weight.
About Muscle
There are over 600 muscles in the body. They do everything from pumping blood throughout your body to helping you lift heavy objects. You control some of your muscles, while others (like your heart) do their jobs without your even thinking about them at all. Muscles are the tissues in the body that contract and affect the movement of and within the body. Muscle tissue is classified as striated, smooth, or cardiac, according to its structure and function.
