Posted by George G on December 14, 2005, 8:27 am, in reply to "Re: Morning Cardio" "AM fasted cardio should be done when you're only interested in body comp and you have either a mesomorphic or endomorphic body type." "AM fasted cardio should never be done when you're an anaerobic athlete requiring strength and power or you simply have an ectomorphic (naturally skinny) body type." I get the sense that you are not a naturally skinny guy and that you are training primarily for better body composition. Therefore morning cardio is for you. If both morning and after workout work for you, then do whichever one is more enjoyable/convenient! --Previous Message--

I would follow Dr. John Berardi's recommendation:
: Wow, after years of reading that cardio in the morning is the
: greatest thing for burning fat, this article was like getting
: hit with an 18 wheeler! I'm more confused now than ever on when
: I should do my cardio, and whether doing it in the morning is
: hurting me more than helping! The only other time would be after
: my workout, and I've read similar articles that this is the
: worst time as well because my muscles need to recover after
: weight session and I need protein ASAP and cardio after working
: out would be like going backwards, etc. The main reason I
: switched to mornings was the fact that I wasn't sure if it was a
: good idea doing cardio after working out because by the time I
: finished my cardio, I was reaaalllyy depleted and I didn't want
: to hurt my recovery process, however right now my primary goal
: is more towards fat loss. Any suggestions on which of the 2,
: both work for me really but I want to try which would best work
: for fat loss with minimal muscle loss and maximum recovery!
