cardio question

[DonCorleone562]

That 15 minute period is detrimental--not going to KILL you, but it is NOT OPTIMAL, even 15 minutes.

Furthermore, that 15 minutes will do NOTHING for fat loss really anyway, so it's just a waste.

if you're gonna incorporate cardio in to your TRAINING ROUTINE, do it the RIGHT way.

Thanks, any other opinions before I drop this 15 minute post weight training cardio mini session?

Yes, you got the right idea, but youre doing the wrong exercise, and not going long enough..... That exercise it a bit too intense, and could cause the body enough strain that it will break down muscle for energy.... YOu need to walk on the treadmill at a moderate pace, and go for 30 mins..... This is moderate intensity, so the body will burn fat as its' main energy source.... Since youre doing a moderate intensity, you wanna go for a longer period of time to get optimal fat burning results..... 30mins is a good number...... I'd say try that for a few weeks, and you'll see a difference....

Bro if you do cardio on a dead empty stomach your going to take muscle away, its just the way it goes, it sucks but thats the body. Take a good amino acid supplement and 5-10 grams of glutamine before am cardio to prevent muscle being lost. Not only is this proven to help burn more fat, but proven to stop muscle from being taken. I always take aminos and glutamine before my 40 min am cardio sessions,,I also do another 40min after my PM training session along with more BCAAs and Glutamine.
