Morning Fasted Cardio vs After Training
-
24 June 2008 10:58
Right, i am starting to cut now. Fasted cardio for 30mins at steady state works best for me. However with work i am reduced to doing 30mins steady state on weight days straight after my weights session. I will try to get a whey shake inbetween. On non-weight days i will aim for 30-40 mins running/interval. So the question is: a) Wake up earlier (comprimise sleep) to do fasted cardio on weight days & then weight in the evenings. or b) Just to the 30 mins steady state cardio after my evening weight session with a whey shake in between - this is the most convenient. Do u think it will make much difference in terms of muscle loss/hinder gains/fat loss? as i will be doing HIIT on off days anyway? Thanks

whichever fits in with your life mate, i am currently doing fasted AM cardio then weights on the evening as i'm on an 8 week course mon-fri, when i'm back on shift this will be impossible so it'll be weights then cardio.
i honestly think the split cardio/weights is best with a good 8hr break between but if it cant be done dont worry about it too much, both will work.

Depends on what your lifestyle can accommodate.
Fortunately I can do fasted AM cardio for 45mins every other day and then 40 mins after a weights workouts.
I read recently that cardio after weight training was supposed to yield superior fat loss.

Why would waking up earlier compromise your sleep? Just go to bed a little earlier the night before.

Fasted cardio works best in a low blood sugar enviroment so mornings or after exercise with this is mind and seen as you are cutting i would'nt skip on the sleep.
