...yea after a workout...run in the morning still....then have your evening workout with a 30 min run after...i hate running before lifting...

i cant run in the morning because im lazy and its usually just not convenient for me to wake up and to be honest its not that important at this phase in my training so i run very late night or after training....i love late night runs cuz i get home,shower and pass out i love it

morning before breakfast is a million percent better but this is what i do because its convenient for me

I'd do cardio, but I wouldn't run if you are trying to keep lean mass and keep bodyfat at bay. You'll be running off all your gains.

Yo can do cardio after your workout most people do 30-45. Some ppl do 60 only when pre-comp. But Stayinstacked is an advocate of after workout cardio.

[SwoleCat]

Stayinstacked is also suspended for being a dickhead.

Take what he advocates w/a grain of salt because his reasoning is flawed on many a level.

i would find it so hard to do morning cardio...go to work..then have energy to lift later on in the day is doing cardio at night or after workout not efficient? i usually run with my girlfriend at night 4 times a week

[SwoleCat]

Cardio a.m. totally sets the tone for me the rest of the day.

I dunno, my work ethic is far above average though, so kids don't try this at home.

yeah right ill run circles around you any day while im carrying 2 45's jk i suppose youre in the right spot though..i wouldnt wanna look up to some bum lol imagine if we had some fat mod or vet here and we didnt even know it..but they passed themselves off as jacked anyways im gettin delusional and tired

[SwoleCat]

Well, I never run for cardio, so you may very well run circles around me during cardio time.

~SC~

[chest6]

Yeah, I wouldn't recommend running anymore than I would recommend eating 100 calories a day. Gets your HR up too high. Run on empty..and thats even more problems

I find it hard to do cardio in the morning too, mainly cause when i wake up i'm so hungry that the last thing i wanna do is spend 40 minutes on a recumbent bike exerting more energy on an empty stomach, but i always force myself to do it atleast 2-3times a week in the morning cause i know its whats best and what will provide the best results, but every now and then if i wanna do cardio for a 4th or 5th time that week i will find myself doing it later in the day on days i work and am not prepared to wake up at 4am just to burn some extra fat alway.

I've always been told ( on this board ) to do cardio immediately after a workout for glycogen reasons and its most effective, other than first thing in the morning. I can't do it in the morning either, because if I drive to the gym, do cardio, come home to eat, to turn around and go back to lift....just doesn't work. I usually eat breakfast, then go to the gym, lift, and then do 30 min cardio walking on incline @ 3.5mph.

why not do something like the stair mill? - I am not an advocate of cardio because i don't want to lose weight but still feel some resistence in my legs with the stair mill on a high intensity after my weight training.

IMHO cardio is very important. Why?, because when your cardiovascular fit your heart & lungs work more efficiently thereby suppling your muscles with a large amount of oxigen quicker.

Sorry, but most people do not do cardio after a workout. In fact, there are numerous posts on here the will advise against doing cardio after a workout. IMO it would be very foolish to do

cheers

Probably best that everyone just experiment and find what works best.

I don't do cardio after working out, nor do I recommend this for my clients.

Again, we all have our own personal preferences/goals.

And your honest opinion is a 100% right.. which is why i do it. (cardio that is)

[DutchCowboy]

When you do cardio, the type I muscle fibers use the blood sugar that the type II fibers need to replenish their glycogen stores. Therefore you need to replenish asap after your workout so you don't deplete them even more.

this is outdated. there is alot of information in the diet forum that will refute this all together.
