Cardio- post lift?

[Mrs_Thaibox]

I often do 30-45 mins of cardio right after lifting.
So far I have managed to slam protein inbetween

i was wondering if anyone else does this?
is this totally stupid?
Should lifting and cardio be more separated, or cardio b4 lifting??

thanks!

If you're going to do cardio, do it post-lifting or on a day when you don't lift at all.

I can't speak for you, but I'm always exhausted after cardio - I just want to stretch and fold my limp body into a cushy chair. There's no way I could lift afterwards.

And because weightlifting increases your metabolism and shapes the body more than cardiovascular work, I would think it would take precedence.

Here's why "barbells" comes before "bikes" (and not just in the alphabet):

MThat will work for a while. Just make sure you change it every couple of weeks like 6 to 8 weeks because your body will get used to it.

This recent study published in NSCA Journal pretty much tells us what we already know. Do your cardio after your lifting or on another day.

Regarding the protein drink. I wouldn't ingest anything except water after lifting if you follow it up with cardio. Protein and some carbs after that is fine. Protein drinks alone can raise insulin enough to shut down the fat burning process, it doesn't take much, and you're primed to burn fat following a heavy resistance training workout.

It is from a PDF file. Perhaps someone else can do it.
