Cardio ?

[Showy0023]

If one were to do 60 min. of cardio.

Is doing 30 min in the AM and 30 min after training the same as doing the entire 60 min @ once?

Thanks,

low, moderate, or high intensity cardio?

Moderate. 5 min warm up and then a fast pace walk (5mph) for 20 min. and then a 5 min cool down is what I am doing in the AM and after I train.

I was just wondering if it would be more beneficial to do 60 min in the morning only???

your blood sugar will be a lot lower in the am. not really sure what your diet looks like. but hypothetically you could burn more fat in the am on an empty stomach.

I would do it all at once on non weight training days.

whats cardio??? lol

i gotta agree with alin above me, do it all at once on days you dont weight train

This is personal opinion only and I have zero to back it up but I feel I had better results with two sessions per day instead of one long one.

While I agree with Alfresco that some time is required to "heat up", I feel that the "aftershock" of reving up your metabolism twice overcomes the "heating Up" time.

I am actually starting morning cardio again later this week in addition to the 30 min on the treadmill watching "Cash Cab" in the evenings after I train.

The feedback is appreciated. Thank you.

I used to do my cardio on its own, either in the morning or evening but without lifting. Now i do 20 to 30 minutes immediately following my weight training. The reasoning behind this is right after i finish lifting my heart rate is really high (I lift hard and intense). So with the heart rate being high throughout my workout, it is already started and all i have to do is jump on a bike or treadmill and just cruise pretty easily to keep the HR up.

ANother tip is not to count your warmup or cool down as part of your cardio. If you want to do 30 minutes then do 5 min warm up 30 min of cardio and 5 min of cooldown. Its all about keeping your HR in the zone and warming up and cooling down ususally isnt in that zone.

I will do HIT and go as long as possible without carbs afterwards to maximize fat burn, but will eat a complex carb packed meal an hour or so before hand. This has always worked for me
