what do you think is the best time to do cardio?

[borris]

In the morning your levels of muscle and liver glycogen (stored carbs) are low, which means during your cardio exercise you will be burning more fat instead of glycogen. If you eat dinner at 7 p.m. and you eat breakfast at 7 a.m., that's 12 hours without food. During the 12-hour overnight fast, your levels of glycogen decline, as a result you wake up in the morning with depleted glycogen and lower blood sugar. It's best to deplete as much glycogen as you can so you burn more fat. Which is why morning cardio is most efficient way rather than just doing the cardio at night and burning all your glycogen from teh carbs you ate throughout the day.



Either way, cardio throughout anytime of the day is good, but for the most OPTIMAL FAT LOSS. Morning is the best

I do cardio twice a day. I love cardio as all I do while biking/running etc I am thinking. Brain storming etc

I do 45 min in the mourning 30 in the evening

I was running intervals twice a day last month....now I'm averaging 6-10 miles at a time...but it has been really all different times of the day

Definitely in the morning, never been disappointed with the results. I prefer running @ night, but the results aren't quite as good for me.

Me too.

I like speed drills in the morning - something quick and fast to get me going all day.

But night running I do more for the mental aspect. I like the longer runs where I take my time and enjoy it. I have my playlists on my ipod and I just go to clear my head.

Depends on your goals for starters. But I'd go with morning on empty stomach.

Ding ding ding!

There are variables to weigh in here...... and I am too lazy to type them all out right now.
