Still doing two walks per day though, only 25mins each a the moment until he is older.
You need a cat or two.

They can walk themselves.

Yes, when he is fully grown we will be able to do more with him which means more excercise.

I m not sure but I have to say I have done some pretty gruelling cardio work over the years trying to lose weight.

I am seriously thinking I may have caused my own heart issues as I may have overworked the heart muscle. Gyms and personal trainers don't want you of this they just encourage you to work as hard as you can.

When I think of how hard I pushed my body I m feeling so cross with myself for not having common sense and realising, I was overweight pounding that treadmill, spin bike and cross trainer, it's obvious it would be a strain on the heart, how stupid was I

I think any form of exercise can be overdone and when we start to enjoy it, we want to do it more and more so don't be so hard on yourself. Personally I don't think exercise is the be all and end all but okay in moderation.

Moderation is most definitely the key. The only exercise I do know is swimming and walking wish I d never done the intense training but it's too late now "sigh"

I seriously think it needs to be highlighted in gyms that too much exercise is dangerous x

OGF is right. If you have a healthy heart, exercising should not do it any harm. Perhaps you could ask your GP's advice and, if necessary, have an ECG.
