Cardio After my workout
Since May I have been doing the opposite of what everyone was telling me and doing my cardio before my workout, but I think it was good benefit to me. Sure I have not had perfect muscle growth and mostly have lost weight but this really helped me build muscle stamina in the gym. Doing an hour of intense cardio and burning 900-1100 calories on avg and then going in and doing 3-4 hours of power/bodybuilding training my friends can’t even keep up with me in the gym and usually go home early.
So now I have switched gears as I am now at the point where I have a lot less to lose then in the beginning and the lbs are not melting away like they have been the past few months. I will be sticking mostly to my workout till the end of the year before I switch gears to concentrate on muscle growth, but for now I am warming up for 15 minutes, completing my workout then completing an hour of Cardio after my workout. Hopefully the addition of swimming 2-3 times a week will help too.
Today was the first day I really tried this out and I can really feel the difference. My legs were burning most of the way through my cardio. I could really feel the last big of energy pushing myself to finish. With no sugars and other build up to burn off I feel that this could be one way to spark a new weight loss. I hope it works as I need to drop another 10-15 lbs to get to my target of at least 10% body fat. If I achieve this it will be one of the best accomplishments I thought I never would have completed 30+% to 10% wow.
