Cardio or Weights First?
Ok, ok I know this is a debate that has been going on forever but now I need some real perspective from real people. I get up at 5 am every day and only have about and hour to maybe an hour and fifteen minutes to workout. I am getting ready to up my workouts to 2 a day so that I can get in cardio and weights minimally 5 days a week. The reason being is for increased fat loss.. aka I want that teeny weenie bikini!
So I am curious here… which should I do in the morning vs which at night and maybe any logistics behind it (if I am going to do something I generally like to know why). I did a bunch of reading over the weekend and for the most part all signs point to cardio 1st thing in the morning and weights in the evening. But, again that comes from magazines, google searches and of course the wonderful articles on bodybuilding.com…
All the advice I can get on this is greatly appriciated.

I get up at 4:15 am and work out for about 1 hr and 10 mins at the most. I do 5 min cardio workout, about 50 min of resistance training and finish it up with about 10 min of power walk cardio and 5 min of cool down. That’s 4 day per week, then I have 2 additional cardio days with 45 to 60 min of cardio with 5 min of warm up and another 5 of cool down. Hope that helps..:)
