cardio before or after weights?

[DeDiCaTeD]

what's more effective for muscle growth and fat loss?

[ImSoBIG]

I like to warm up with a little cardio, (5 minutes), but I do my real cardio after my workout.

I rather have as much energy as possible for building muscle then lossing fat. Plus a good hard workout will burn fat.

Hit the weights first then do your cardio.

I agree with ImSoBig

Optimally, you'd want to put at least 6 hours between your weight training and cardio. Doing cardio directly after weight training is just asking to go catabolic andburn muscle.

after...in my opinion

[naught33]

light cardio before lifting is good to get your body warm and itll help w fat loss because youll already be sweating during your workout...BUT you don't want to do heavy cardio before lifting otherwise youll wear yourself out...any intense cardio i do i do after lifting

[powernick]

do cardio after weights to burn more fat
