Its silly to set 30-60 mins as a maximum for the simple fact just a few decades ago people worked on farms doing hard physical labor 12+ hours a day.
Exactly.

I'm so happy for you! Go for it and don't look back! You'll know if you're doing too much. Trust your body. This sounds like a lot of fun for your daughter, too!

I have thought about it but I am just getting out a very dark toxic relationship and place in my life so I have a long ways to work up to where I was before having a child. I should look into it though. I think I might enjoy it!

I normally take my daughter for walks useing her stroller during the day and walk her to the park. Then in the later part of the day I put her on my back (useing a carrier) and we take a 2-3hour long hike.

I want to do more!! Hike longer, run more!! There isn't a limit I should put onto how much cardio I do right??
Its really tough for anyone to do TOO MUCH cardio. I go running just about every day and I see the same people out there all the time. As you start doing more and more exercise, you'll become more in tune with your body and will know when its time to rest it, and when its time to blast through another workout.

From reading your posts, I dont think you have to worry about overdoing cardio anytime soon.
