When your body doesnt have any left, it might burn fat depending on your heart rate. But, people say that you shouldn't go passed more then 30-45 if your trying to burn fat. Im not tryng to specifcally burn fat, but wut REALLY happend when you continue over 35 minutes of high cardio? I assume that you will be burning muscle tissue then...no more carbs, and to high of a heart rate to be burning fat. Should I be concerned about this cause I play on a serious bball team and have 3 hard practices a week and 1-2 games a week. And last, could that be over training? I do no other cardio through the rest of the week. ---------------------------- Tiffany Der #10 "You have to make it through the rain in order to see the Rainbow........."
