A member asked:

Is it okay to be on a cardio machine for an hour?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Gym equipment can be used for great lengths of time provided your basic health is good and you either set the machine for easy tolerance, or you have spent weeks and months building up your tolerance.
