low intensity cardio

[GS4]

Ok usually I do my cardio at 5am, I also do it before my weights incline fast pace walking for like 35mins usually burn about 400-550 cals on a empty stomach, should I do my weights first?

Yes, perform ur weights first

Keep ur low intensity in the mornings and throw in some interval training PWO for 30 mins each time u train with weights

Make sure that ur carbs are around/during ur training and some at breakfast after ur morning cardio

Keep ur carbs low GI

And throw a little dextrose into an intra workout drink to spike insulin and prevent cortisol release

U want to be fresh and fuled for ur weight training and not too depleted for the interval training PWO, thats why i reccomend the dextrose durring ur weight training

Maybe add some BCAA's before u do fasted cardio, or a scoop of whey

Yes, Like Basline said, keep the low intensity cardio in the AM and follow your weight training with High Intensity cardio. Straight jogging is typical. Interval is tough for beginners, but its easy to adjust to if your already in shape. My gym has a track, if I feel like I go to Harvard or Tufts field. Do straight sprints on straight away and jog the arches. For starters do one mile jog warm up (6-10 minutes) then start sprints, 4+ sprints is good. Try to add more straight sprints every week. If track is unavailable you can do this on the treadmill, warm up as usual, if your cardio is 30 minutes, I'd try 10 minute warm up, increase speed to a point your jogging fast, jog until you can't, once you reach that point keep track how long it was, slow down to slow jog as you catch your breath. Do it again, but this time try to beat that time you ran, repeat the slow down and catch breathe. repeat the whole thing until your 30 minutes is done.

Kinda confusing, but once you grab the concept and get used to, its easier. I condition 20-25 hockey players, not the smartest so I don't use treadmills, but use the tracks are best for them... Good luck, from RI?

Not only does this conditions, but your legs will grow as well. I do this and so do my players.

* I take BCAA when I train, Scivation Xtend is what I take. Sometimes I mix waximaze if I'm training longer..
