No, just make sure your not doing like 4 hours everyday and when your body says stop, then listen and stop.
just be careful and don't overdo it.
hope it helped

I don't think 4 1/2 hours of gym a week is too much. As long as you stop when you're tired or if you've hurt yourself, you'll be fine.

Exercising cannot harm you in anyway.. By the way your not doing to much if you decide you want to do more go for it.. ♥Dez

If you exercise too much, yes it can harm you. But you are nowhere near the too much line. Too much is if you don't eat, don't sleep, don't have a cup of tea and read a book--you just exercise all the time. The magazines aren't lying, they're just saying that it's important to exercise but you must also rest!

NO this is not too much. The people who write these ridiculous magazines havent done a day of REAL training in their lives and are afraid of actually sweating when they work out. They just lift their 5 lb Dumbbells and sip their Evian and work out in places even less hardcore than Curves. 4 1/2 hours each week is perfect and your cardio routine is also great and Iam sure your diet is on target too. Don't listen to those idiots...you're doing great things for your body.

no 4 1/2 hours a week with cardio is fine! when you start running excessively or doing 3 hours at the gym/cardio everyday...then it's too much. one or two hours is the norm. it's too much when you miss periods...that's when it gets unhealthy. <3

yes it can be harmful but yours isnt harmful at all! they mean really if your burning more calories than you are eating its unsafe. like i went to the gym 1 hour everyday plus had 30 min of gym class everyday and i didnt even burn half of the calories i ate in 1 day. like 15 min of cardio workout you only burn around 100-200 calories max and the average person eats like 2000 calories a day so you are doing just fine. the only time when you have to worry is if you are doing more than 3 hours a day.. thats when it starts getting unsafe especially if you are a woman under the age of 20 with no kids
