    Excess cardio/sparing muscle tissue?

    I work as a teacher during the day...run my own landscape business afternoon and night.
    With all the walking I do due to mowing (anywhere from 1-4 hrs total) is it unwise to do much more cardio? I am 6'1", 243 (down from 265) and much of the cardio has been through my mowing.
    Add more cardio? (been doing a couple mornings per week for 45min)
    I can provide more info if needed. I'm just not sure if I'll be OVERdoing this fat burning and tapping into muscle, even at my size.
    Been keeping cals between 2000-2500, protein aprox 300g.
    Thanks bros.

    I mentioned in another recent post that I'm only lifting twice per week, whole body to maintain muscle.

    unless you keep your heart rate between 65-70% while your mowing, you arent priming your body for fat burning, maybe you should dedicate a separate rountine and do brisk walking for 45 mins. mowing wont cut it out.

    Why would twice per week, or the "whole body" at one time, be indicative of one maintaining muscle??
