** Cardio for women mental health not weight Loss **
Excessive cardio can lead to increased cortisol levels, which in turn leads to a decrease in progesterone and an increase in estrogen, potentially leading to fat storage. Also, excessive cardio can break down muscle, especially in women, and it is not an effective way to lose weight. Instead, emphasis should be on weightlifting to build muscle, which can aid in weight loss and shape improvement. Cardio is recommended more for mental health benefits rather than weight loss.
