Cardio Before or After Your Workout

[bass]

I do 20 to 60 minutes after my workout. Weights first! for best muscle growth, since you need your glycogen stores to be explosive. Cardio is primarily for fat control and endurance, which is at its peak after an intense weight training, dipping into fat storage for energy to continue after the glycogen is nearly gone.

Also, if I get in a good weight session, I wind up performing better on the cardio, with my muscles unable to give up the resistance they just endured.

60 minutes is way too long for post workout cardio. 30 minutes max.

Is this even if you are wanting fat loss? My post workout cardio is basically me walking at a brisk pace for 60 minutes. About 3.6 miles. If on treadmill, I will incline it a bit too. Is there a specific reason why long cardio like this is bad?
