I'd just like to say that cardio doesn't reduce muscle mass. As long as you eat enough quality calories to fill up your total TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure), cardio won't at all cause you to "loose" muscle. Honestly, it's really bad that this is a common belief. On a side note, I absolutely loved your muffins! It sucks to feel a little guilty when you start to crave sweets, but this is a really cool and healthy solution. Every time I get cravings I can just make myself some awesomemuffins

@ThaLime This recipe is one of my favorite's and hope that you like it just as much as I do! Yes, "losing" muscle can be a myth to an extent, but there is no umbrella answer. For someone literally wanting to add muscle mass and shape while training for a marathon, gaining muscle mass should not be the goal because the excessive training will counteract the desire to build more muscle mass. You won't lose what you have, but building will be a challenge, as I explained in the video.

[ThaLime]

@MadeFitTV Ohh, so you're referring to the fact that the constant strain from jogging and/or running will continually break down your muscles. Of course, rest is needed to rebuild muscles so that they grow back stronger, but when you keep breaking them down your gains will be limited. I see your point, but I'd say this is only the case when you're doing somehting as "extreme" as marathon training. Cardio is a very important part of fitness, and I'd hate for people to think they'd be better off

[ThaLime]

@MadeFitTV ---> just lifting weights. When you're training for something as endurance-demanding as a marathon I can agree that going really heavy on the weights isn't really a good idea. When you work out 15 hours + a week the risk of injury can be high. So okay, I understand your point. A marathon is a very specific line of exercise, so obviously a lot of running and jogging would be more suitable than heavy weight lifting. I'd like to say again that your videos are great! Keep up the good work

[MadeFitTV]

@ThaLime Just saw your response... Yes, I am was referring to the extreme since many "average" gym-going people think they need a ton of cardio just to keep overall fitness. A ratio of cardio, strength, circuits, healthy and nutritious eating, enough calories, and rest are all important. Thanks so much for your feedback - I truly appreciate it : ) XO
