Post AM Cardio Pro/Fat or Pro/Carb?

[Giantz11]

Now if you re-read what i said, I didnt say you have to do high intensity, but i did say you should be in your target HR range.

and yes you can do HIIT in the morning, if your worried about it being too catabolic dink a protein shake before. no big deal. You want to keep the heart rate about 65% and below 85%.

You can also do cardio after weigh training, not sure if you agreed with that, but if you did, then i agree with you there. I would just keep it to a max of 30mins.

Exactly, keep it to about 30min.

However on the issue of HIIT in the AM that's very catabolic without the proper meal. HIIT training is dependant on glycogen for fuel, since it is High Intensity much like weight training. When you wake up in the AM you are pretty much glycogen depleted, as your stores have been used during the night's sleep.

Doing HIIT cardio in this state would lead to muscle loss because you have no glycogen so you will use Amino's, via Gluconeogenesis for fuel. Not somehting you want at all.

ha ha , so what makes you so qualified to give people what you consider the "right" answer? what just because you have all these ridiculous studies you post ? as far as im concerned nobody on here is qualified to give advice which they say is "right". unless you have a phd dont claim that what you say is what is true. and dont try telling everyone else they are wrong because they dont have a study to back it. i think experience is the only way to find out what is true or not., and even then it differs from person to person. the only reason im lashing back out at you is because you always step on everyone else with your damn "studies" that you post and say"here, here is a study , im right . just because i have a study , im right." get ****ed. give some people some credit who have put years of reading and personal experiences in what they post. i never claim to be the absolute authority on what i post. if you dont agree , leave it at that.dont ridicule everyone else just say hey"whatever works for you, but this works for me."

It doesn't matter about qualifications. If you and I are both unqualified (which will be assumed), and you give no proof to back up your statements and I do. The I guess that makes my adive a bit more qualified. At least there is some tangible evidence one way or another.

All I asked you to do was tell me why you thought, cardio after weights was bad. You brought up not having a study. So obvisouly you think that a study would show something. You gave me your reasoning and I answered as to why that is not exactly true, and that cardio can be done after weights.

i made the study comment because i knew that was the first thing you would say, because thats the first thing you always reply with to anybody.
