Too much of cardio exercise, you're stripping off muscle; you aren't burning off fat. That's why you aren't losing weight because you're probably losing your precious muscle, which is instrumental in helping to burn off more fat calories (Note: Muscle is metabolically active, the more muscle you've, the higher your metabolism and the more fat calories you'll burn). If you're stripping off muscles, the opposite happens. Cardio 4-5 times per week for 30-45 mins, if you aren't aim for weight loss. If you want to lose weight, increase the time to 60 mins per session but still keep to 4-5 times per week.

You didn't get sick because of all the exercise you were doing, you got sick because of the way you were dieting. If you are under a high intensity cardio work out and are not dieting correctly, you can lower your bodies defenses. I wouldn't do cario everyday, more like 4 to 5 days a week. You could also lower the intensity of your work out. For instance, do more fast walking and biking, and work out every day.<br><b>References : </b><br> To much cardio can be harmful to your joints.

Calories are easier to burn for 300 lb person than a 120 lb person too.<br><b>References : </b><br> If you are not loosing weight after exercising an hour an day then you are either not hitting your target heart rate or you are consuming too much calories each day that is not being burned off.

But if you've gotten sick you could be doing too much or not drinking enough water. Hope this helps<br><b>References : </b><br> Yes it could if you do too much of it.
