You're only overdoing it when you get a horrendous burn in your muscles, it means you're going to hard and your muscles are now lacking oxygen and are using lactic acid instead, not good! But you have to go pretty fast, like doing loads of sit ups in quick succession, I've done it once and it hurts lol.
Good luck let us know how you get on.

Wow thanks for the replies ladies!
Wendy - I wondered about the muscle/glucose thing...but I've seen it on a few sites that look like pretty decent sites which promted me to ask. I didn't think I'd suffer, cause as I said it's not like I aint got some fat to be eaten lol
I know bananas aren't the best - we joke on here about our 'bananability' but it doesn't seem to affect me...but then again it doesn't alter the fact it takes to burn and I'll be darned if I am hauling butt outta bed at 5am to not burn off a 'nana! LOL!
Thanks again...great replies x
