    Cardio question for my wife

    Stats:
    Height:5' 2"
    Weight: 106
    Age: 27

    She trains 5-6 days a week and is doing 3 days/20 min of cardio at the moment. She does not want to lose weight and she is already lean as can be, I told her she should cut it down to 10 min 3x a week or 2x a week 20 min. What do you guys think?

    thanks!

    She could maintain her weight with diet. 10 minutes won't do anything.

    Exactly...

    If she is happy doing the cardio then have her add in some extra carbs

    Agree with above. I will add that cardio has the long term cardiovascular benefits that we need for overall health and longevity
    I would do less days for more time.
