First of all it’s a myth that cardio in the morning on an empty stomach is the best way to burn fat. This isn’t just my opinion but the most knowledgeable trainers and exercise experts agree that cardio in the morning on an empty stomach is not good for you body.
The myth purveyors will tell you that in the morning that you have low glycogen stores and energy levels are low because you haven’t consumed any carbohydrates, so then you will tap into your fat stores.
This is TOTALLY wrong. The complete opposite happens.
Why is it wrong? Fat burning doesn’t occur during cardio exercise, but about two hours after. Instead your body will look at your tasty muscles for energy meaning. Good-bye muscles.
So unless your goal is to become scrawny and lose muscle then by all means do cardio in the morning.
Its also common sense not to do cardio on an empty stomach. You won’t have a satisfactory amount of energy meaning decreases performance which means less gains and poor results. And if you think about it, your body has just fasted for eight hours and it needs something to eat to refuel itself.
