** Posted this in the weight loss forum first ***

As said in the title, Im pretty new to cardio. Ive been cutting now for more than 4 months by manipulating diet cos i wanted to wait to use cardio when i plateau'd and its worked well. The thing is i normally do a manual job (building) and now theres not a lot of work about i find myself sat about alot. Now that im burning less calories i think in better start using cardio to lose the last 5lbs or so.

I wanna use both SSCV and HIIT, does it matter which you use on what days? for example, is it better to use SSCV on your non training days to allow better recovery from the previous days weights?
or better to use SSCV fasted first thing in the morning or PWO?

I train Tues/Thurs/Sat
Im 185lbs @ 12% BF

Thanks in advance

BTW, i plan to use cardio in my bulks in the future

Depends really, some people like to do cardio and weights on different days. Personally I prefer the approach of doing 40 - 50 mins SSCV in the morning and my weights in the evening.

I don't think cardio really hampers recovery from weights. The main reason most people keep them seperate is to ensure that they have enough energy to get the most out of their weights session. If you can do your SSCV fasted then that would be best, but don't get too hung up on it, as ultimately all that really matters is that you get the cardio done, fasted or not.

If you're new to cardio then HIIT may not be for you, because done correctly it can be quite exhausting. I'd stick to 40 -50 mins SSCV each day for now until your fitness has improved, although if you feel that you already have a decent level of fitness then give it a try. I find that HIIT three times a week suits me fine.
