The muscle tissue gets broken down, but then grows back. With long bouts of aerobic exercise, you lose muscle because your body burns muscle for energy. Hope this is what you wanted, welcome to freetrainers, and be sure to fill out your profile. where are your from, btw?

When you do most cardio there is no overload to make muscles grow. Also when you do cardio you are expending a lot of calories unlike weight lifting which uses fewer calories.
	2005/08/10, 01:33 PM The best thing to do is limit your cardio to 3 or 4 days a week for 30 minutes. If it is intense enough it's a good workout. Try to lift on the days you don't do cardio. If you have to do them both on the same day, separate them by 6 or 8 hours. Welcome to FT. -------------- Prayer for the day: Lord, help me to be the kind of person my dog thinks I am. Charlie

You speak english better than some of our english speaking members (neov3). Aerobic exercise breaks down muscle differently than weight lifting. Charlie gave some good advice.
