Early morning cardio question

arnold1980

I have some conflicting thoughts on early morning cardio. Some say that it is more effective to do it on an empty stomach. Others say do a shake 45 mins before. I would think 30-45 mins of hard physical cardio after fasting (sleeping for 8 hours), would cause your body to depleate your muscles instead of stored fat. Therefore i would think it be better to have a shake before cardio. Any other thoughts on this. Maybe i should make a poll.

i dont drink a shake. only thing i take is a teaspoon of ALCAR powder which is like 3 grams and a fatburner. Been taking NYC in the morning.

im sure some of ya'll remember that.
U cant find that shit anywhere anymore cause its illegal now.

The duration of the cardio session is short. You're not going to deplete much in that time frame. Post cardio is when I take my whey isolate shake. Cardio gets a bad rap for muscle wasting. If your diets on you'll be fine.

The main reason cardio gets a bad rap is cause some bros do it right before or right after weight training which does deplete muscle. I always do cardio am and weights pm (well, when im not bulking.)

i would only take fatburner before cardio maybe some glutamine.

I've never done cardio on an empty stomach. I think I'll try it. It sucks fighting off a protein shake cramp 15 minutes into it. Thanks

The ONLY time I have noticed fatloss from adding cardio to my routine is when I did it first thing in the AM on empty stomach. I toyed with different cardio schemes a bit and that was the only time cardio did anything without modifying diet. I believe it's the best way to reap the benefits for fat burning.

p.s. the assumption here is that your reason for doing cardio is fat loss and not for well, eh...cardio...
