cardio before workout?

or workout before cardio?

[BadBlueBird*]

or do them on seperate days.. no way I could do both (going all out) on the same day.

[pjeff7]

I always do workout then cardio

[The Project]

Cardio AM
Weights PM

[MadSeason]

Different Days if you want the biggest benefits from both

[Tonik]

Weights First
Cardio Second

"Why strength training first? Because strength training uses glycogen as a fuel source (stored carbohydrates in your muscles). By weight training first, we are going to use up most of the glycogen in our muscles, so there’s a greater tendency for our cardio workout to use up fat as a fuel source. So, if we were to do cardio first, we might not be able to lift as much weights, therefore compromising our workout to a certain extent."

[Mr. Luos]

I do both.
Cardio, workout, cardio

Full on workout days though....skip the cardio.

[SouthernBornThriller]

Get up in the morning and run a few miles first thing every day. All the cardio you'll ever need. Then just hit the gym whenever you can during the day.

Hmph. I've been doing it wrong for years....damnit!! LOL...I've always done my cardio first simply 'cause I HATE IT!! If I wait 'til after I lift, I normally say fuck it and leave!! Here lately, though, I've lost too much weight, so I normally just do about 5 minutes of something to loosen up before I lift.

Should also note after you use up your glycogen stores you start burning protein, aka the muscle you're trying to maintain or build

This is the only REAL answer. This is the exact reason you do weights first on a day you do both.

[SeVeReDiStOrTiOn]

Don't do legs on the days you lift and then run...unless you don't intend to put out on your cardio anyway.

[98T/Aformula.]

I lift every day so cardio on my days off dont happen. So I lift then do cardio.

[Smkn_TA]

Hop on the treadmill and do curls while running. TOTAL BADASS.

Hop on the treadmill and do curls blasting Eye of the Tiger while running. TOTAL BADASS.
