Aerobic exercise daily is bad? Anyone see this aricle on Livestrong.com ?
I'm so confused by all the different exercise advice going around. Anyone have any comments on this article. I do cross train like he recommends but I like to workout 5-6 days a week which he feels is too much and BAD FOR YOU. And, If I'm gonna get a good sweat going my heart rate will be more than 75% of my max. He recommends never to go higher than 75%. I love intense exercise and they seem to be saying that it is counter productive.

I just always say "honor your body." As long as the exercise your doing makes you feel good and nothings in bad pain ( there is the good pain too). Then keep doing what makes you feel good. I exercise 6 days a week hardcore and always have even before surgery and if I don't I miss it and feel like crap.
