whats the earliest people get up at for cardio?
i would like to do my cardio in the morning on a empty stomach,only thing is i have to get up at half 6 and leave the house at 7 to go to work.
i could get up a bit earlier but i work to 6/7pm some times and im shattered by about 2pm normally,anyone else have this problem ,cardio 9/10pm is an option.

I run at 5:30 am... no cars it is great. I am at work at 8 am and leave at 7pm. I also do my workout at 6am, no choice in terms of time.

5:45am bro...
What's more important... fat-loss or sleep? Don't choose one over the other, just go to bed earlier, get your 8 hours of sleep, then get up at 5:30am and run... and do that 4 or 5 days a week...
You will notice considerable fat-loss if you do so in the morning, on an empty stomach, then wait about an hour and a half afterwards to eat anything.. that way lipolysis continues to burn fat after you're done cardio... (if you eat, lipolysis will end)... but, if you absolutely can't make it in the AM, then PM cardio is better than no cardio.. right?

I'm up by 4:30 AM and doing cardio by 5 AM. Five days a week, 52 weeks a year. Morning is optimal time for cardio and fat loss....but push comes to shove PM cardio is better than no cardio at all....just have to adjust your meals and time you eat them.

Up at 5:45am
Cardio for 50 minutes....
3-4x a week for me...its all about being realistic.

Actually the best time for cardio is in the AM on empty, and lipolysis can continue for up to 45 minutes after your cardio session, but everyone is different. Doing cardio after weights is fine, but in the morning is ideal. Why anyone would want to mix an aerobic activity with an anaerobic one is beyond me.
Here is a good post by SwoleCat explaining all of this in further detail:

It's fine that we all have our different methods, yes. However, claiming one method to be equal to that of another when each of the components in the approaches included is PROVEN to be best in a certain "state", is seriously BAMMER!
There's an old-school word! BAMMER!!!!!!!

I can honelsty say that in the Marines we NEVER ran on an empty stomach.. It would be get up at 5 get chow, go back to the squad bay change for pt and go pt.Yeah I lost ALOT of weight muscle and fat in bootcamp. But someone I made it back up to 189 a 5% bf. Now the thing is there is soo much contradicing evidence about this topic.. In every ****ing muscle mag there will be something that says why its better to do cardio in the morning then on the next one it will say its better to do it after work out..Im not only talking about in muscle mag but in other books as well. I never looked at at with the point of after working out and then taking you PWO drink.. I just think of it as buring more in a day than you consume. Guess thats why my theory could be off alittle.Wouldnt it also make sense to just try to gain as much muscle as possible to burn more fat?Last edited by Jock191; 10-26-2004 at 09:00 AM.

It's all good, no one was flaming you, but rather pointed out flaws in reasoning w/scientifically proven principles.
Again, it's best to try everything and experiment, and do what works for YOU as an individual.
Everyone is entitled to an opinion, of course! You know the saying, "Opinions are like @$$holes, everybody has one."

isnt the goal of marine training to make you a lean mean killing machine or whatever? The goals of people on this board are to "look" amazing. the stuff written above about running in the AM on an empty stomach has been proven to work......

YES, it is also true that gaining muscle helps offset fat increases so we are in total agreement. AS muscle is shown to burn calories at rest whereas brown fat does not. Like Swole said all is unique you need to find what works individually(someone who is 21yrs old vs. a 45yr old) are very different. But there are also some reasoning that cardio is better on a empty stomach and not the best approach before or after weight training no matter what one age is. If anything cardio post workout is the lesser of the two evils imo. BUT then again it depends on ones own goal ie. muscle mass or fat loss. Although weight training is anaerobic it can have some elements of a aerobic if you incorporate certain training principles.
