I'm so confused!

[mystique]

Is cardio on an empty stomach catabolic? Or cardio after weights catabolic? When should I do cardio then?!

 

[Liftbig]

what do you do cardio for?

 

[NWinters]

to my knowledge you burn empty calories on an empty stomach. I reccomned cardio in the am hours, weightlifting in the pm hours.

I do cardio to lose a little bit of fat and for my heart.

well personally id rather not ever workout on an empty stomach. and thats how i would treat cardio, like a workout. i think its great that you do it for your heart. i would eat something beforehad though, anytime you do something stressful or intense in a depleted state your going to lose something, and it may not be fat.

to lose that little bit of fat, just manipulate your diet.

I eat 1 hr before I workout/run.
