Hi,
Do long cardio sessions work? Well, if your goal is to burn body fat the answer is yes. But, they are not very efficient.
You have probably heard of the saying, to burn fat you have to get in the fat burning zone and that takes 20-30 minutes.
So for 20-30 minutes you aren't even burning any fat. Now you have to "start" your fat burning part of the cardio. No efficient.
The other problem is that there is no carry over effect. That means that you will stop burning fat immediately when you stop your session. Not efficient.
I discuss the reasons why in more detail at: http://femfigueres.com/cardio-for-fitness.html
Check it out.
Thanks,
Mike Val
