Is it okay to do cardio everyday?
There is no recommended upper limit on the amount of cardio exercise you should do on a daily or weekly basis. However, if you push yourself hard with every workout, then skipping a day or two each week to rest may help you avoid injury and burnout.
Is 30 minutes of cardio a day too much?
Here are general recommendations for cardio: At least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity cardiorespiratory exercise, 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity, or a combination of moderate- and vigorous-intensity exercise per week. If you’re working out 5x a week, that’s 30 minutes each day.
Is 2 hours cardio a day too much?
Yes, you can do 2 or 3 hours of cardio in a day. But you should build up to it. You’ll find that many cyclists and runners will do a longer workout or two on the weekend, but maybe just an hour on weeknights at a more brisk pace. A rest day isn’t a bad idea either.
How do I avoid bulky legs when exercising?
Bump up your cardio: Regular extended bouts of cardio, mixed in with sessions of short, intense cardio (HIIT, for example) can help lead to slimmer legs. Cardio will help you burn calories and work off excess body fat overall (i.e. belly fat, love handles, etc) and this will also lead to less bulky legs.
In what order do you lose fat?

Does fat get jiggly before you lose it?
From my dietician: When losing fat your body begins to break down the bonds between the fat cells to make them more available, that combined with losing the higher density fat cells that are the main causes for cancer and illness are the reason why your fat is more jiggly. In the end it is a good sign!
