Do cardio before weight training

Some like to shamelessly exploit a fundamental principle of training - that must always train by priority. After them, if weight loss is your main goal, for example, then cardio should be your main thing on which to focus, right? But this is a case where we sit priorities at the end.

Although cardio is the essence of productive if you do cardio after weight training is almost twice as efficient for burning fat. Studies of Japanese researchers recently determined that if you do weight training before cardio to burn significantly more fat than when only cardio.

In this study, a group that did only cardio to burn slightly more than 20% of total calories from fat, while the other group did cardio after weight training burned about 50% of total calories from fat . One reason for this striking difference is that the body turns to muscle glycogen during exercise with weights, which makes the fat to be the main source of energy when it comes among antranamentului cardio.

The best advice: Do cardio when it is most productive for you - after lifting weights. Try to enter 3-4 sessions of 20-30 minutes of cardio a week after the weights.
