Hi Sonia
I don’t think it would be wise of me to make sweeping statements like ‘rpm contributes to cancer’. There are so many factors involved with that or any kind of illness or disease. It’s true that stress can certainly be relevant, if not in the cause then often in the exacerbation of clinical illness. But as to what form of stress? That often depends on the person. Everyone is different, and so the way that their body manages and detoxifies particular stressors can’t be compared one against the other. What I will say is this – excessive cardio does elevate cortisol, cortisol is the stress hormone, and unnecessary stress is best avoided by anyone looking to achieve ideal health or recover from less than ideal health. I hope that helps.

Hi Kat, I refer to your article ‘10 Ways to a Leaner You’ in the current Fitness First mag ‘The Fit Issue’. I’ve found your artical tremendously informative and interesting, but as an avid RPM/Cyle participant am now quite concerned and confused by the what I read in step 5. It would be fair to say that I am totally addicted to these classes, and have been for a few years now – I’ll do 3, 4 or 5 a week. You say that this type of exercise generates ‘the same hormonal activity as stress’ – can it then cause or contribute to the cause of cancer? Just how dangerous do you think excess engagement in this level of activity is?
