Cardio question

[Neo22]

That seems like a very bad idea, considering HIIT is above the threshold to burn fat for fuel, and will burn glucose (if available) and lean muscle tissue if it's not available (if you do this on "E"), thus thrusting one into an EXTENDED state of catabolism further exacerbated by waiting to eat for an entire hour.

Which is why many choose to eat before HIIT, and use HIIT as a conditioning exercise to increase one's VO2 max, not utilize the activity for lipolysis as the lower-medium intensity variety is far more effective at not only burning fat DURING the session, but for actual lipolysis AFTER the session is over. There is a big difference in burning KCALS or burning adipose tissue.

Not something I'd ever advise, that's for sure!

So you would say as far as fat burning goes. Walk 45min on a incline on an empty stomach in the morning? Or should you do it in the afternoon when you have something to burn so you don't burn muslce?

N-deed, listen to city as he is entirely correct.

Good call.

What I really like about a.m. cardio is not only is it not catabolic provided one know how to eat correctly the other 23 hours of the day, but it really does change your energy level throughout the day. You'll find you don't get tired as much during the day when you do cardio a.m. You do have to get a full night of rest when you do a.m. cardio, that is key to the tone that is set the rest of the day. It feels good when the metabolism is hummin' along at an accelerated pace much of the day.

Beneficial as a mother as well, w/precise eating protocols.
