My question is this....
Some people at this gym(generally the ones who hate doing any cardio!!!) tell me that too much cardio reduces muscle and strength...are they right?'Cos to my mind all great boxers run at least 3 or 4 miles in the morning followed by shadow boxing,sparring weights etc bout 5 days a week and they usually look to be in amazing shape.
Any thoughts?
