- The Best Time of Day to Do Cardio to get the best results. Is your goal to lose body fat, improve performance or perhaps something else. Cardio can be therapudic, it can help with recovery and inflammation and can be used for mental well being. Cardio can help suppress appetite, build confidence and more.
I have experimented with Cardio Early, Cardio late and cardio post workout and this has been a learning lesson for me.
There is also research on fasted vs. fed state cardio which can help provide some insight.
www.ncbi.nlm.n...
This study lead by Brad Schoenfeld discusses the differences in two groups.
I personally have moved to doing cardio early in the day, but will also add a second later session as needed.
What is the best time of day to do cardio, for fat loss, for performance. Essentially it comes down to what your daily revolves around and your priorities.

I joined it after watching one of your videos. Already hit the ground running and super excited about the potential! Thanks!
I love fasted cardio. It keeps me energized throughout the day, better mental clarity. It also helps reduce bloating.
For optimal cardio, I do it when my life is depleted of joy.
What you mean?
Bahaha
Just like me fr
(I do cardio every day)
YES! I HEAR YOU BROTHER.
😅. 😢
Wanted to add that the no excuse, no interruptions, early morning pre-work cardio has been working wonders. Took a little discipline to start, but became habit like it was boot camp again. Good advice. Thank you sir.
that's why i love the early cardio, it's done before the world gets going.
I am going to start eay morning cardio!! Thank you so much
Right on point. My motto has always been 'train first'. I'm retired now but I still get up at 5 a.m. to get my daily dose of cardio. Then some breakfast and off to the gym about 2 hours later. And, it feels great! As you said, something will always come up if I plan on a late day session.
Mr Paul your channel have been my go to channel for me past 5 years. As a medical officer myself I'm impressed with your honest no BS knowledge, guidance and input on natural bodybuilding. Keep up the great work 😃😃😃.
Thanks!
I like how you said fit the cardio into your life at the end of the video. I work 13 hour shifts. You say the right things to get people to their goals
Exactly how I do it. Wake up and walk a 5k. Strength training after breakfast and before bed most days 30 mins on the treadmill. Feels good.
thanks for sharing!
You must be single and no kids.
Fasted row machine at 5:30am every morning. Loving it.
Plus 10 min walk after my 2 meals.
And obviously weights 4x/week.
How are you liking the row machine? I’ve heard good things
@@SameerAhmed-wf1bx can't say enough.
Amazing cardio.
Full body workout.
Low impact.
It's easily my favorite. Highly recommend!
I will warm up with 10-15 dynamic stretching and cardio (jumping jacks, knee ups) then spend 45 mins to 1 hr weight training, followed by at most 30 mins cardio. I do my workouts in the evening after I have eaten 3 meals (close to my daily caloric intake) cause I need the extra calories and energy. Then I finish my night with my final meal after my work out knowing that the calories well replenish my workout glycogen and not going towards fat storage. I stopped doing fasted cardio and noticed more strength gain and weight loss following my current method.
sounds like a great plan!
Mr Revelia your channel has become my favorite recently. I enjoy the no BS approach. Simple question for you sir. What is the minimal amount of time to perform steady state cardio and get results regarding brisk pace walking?
love that. 30 minutes....
I switched to riding my bike to work daily for over a year and only managed to gain weight. 30 minutes a day of bike riding added so much muscle to my legs my pants got tighter, meanwhile my belly went nowhere. I was hungrier all day and probably ate more than I should. It turned into a muscle machine and my fat just stayed. Now I walk for 45 minutes every day, at lunch time, and I've lost 20 pounds in two months. No extra cravings either. I appreciate your videos to help keep it all in perspective. This is great advice.
I just started a few weeks ago jumping on the bike first thing in the morning. So far I do like 30 mins and burn about 500 calories and I’m good for the day. By the evening I go to the gym for weight training for about an hour.
I get called in to work all the time halfway through the day and never know for sure if I'm going in or not, so getting up at 6 or 7 and having my cardio done before 9 would make it a lot easier to be consistent in my case. That'd take me from going to the gym once or twice a week, to every day.
with a family, kids, clients, employess...if I don't get it done before everyone is up it becomes a risk.
Another great no nonsense video 👍 I'm a lunchtime walker. It breaks up the work day and clears up the brain. Seeing other walkers on the trail keeps me motivated. Weights after work just before dinner.
Thanks for sharing!
Walking while having lunch sounds great!
I’m 48 and I need help bud! I love your videos! I have a new treadmill and I’m trying to get on it for 30-60 min per day. 4-5 days a week. I will join the challenge. Thanks
Great video. I work swing shifts at an Ethanol plant and some times I work 8 days in a row at 12 hour shifts and its hard to get cardio in. I do enjoy the low intensity walking in the morning before I get ready for work and I do this fasted.
If I do hiit, it has to be fasted or I'll feel sick and kind of lethargic, but I love my peanut powder rice cakes before my strength training. I can walk with a weighted vest at anytime, fed or fasted! Thanks Paul.
interesting, i am opposite, i need an empty stomach but not fasted....
I always enjoy your videos. Very straight forward and easy to understand. Thanks Paul!
thank you!
I like walking or at least moving after every meal after noticing the digestion benefits.
The same to me. I create 1h for me to do cardio or strengh or yoga at 5 am because I don t have time for me late of the day..
well done!
His smile at the beginning always makes me smile 😅
That makes me happy
Thank you! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
Eating carbs would break a low carb, carnivore diet. I just walk 1 mile in the morning before I eat and walk 2 miles in the evening within 30 minutes after supper. Except when it is raining.
Thanks for your informative videos. 😎
you are very welcome!
I personally like cardio at night - I do not have hunger and it improves sleep
You mentioned that the body's energy source depends on the intensity of the activity. Does this mean that if you want to lose fat you need to do longer moderate sessions over intensive cardio?
Best in morning while fasting- watch DR Berg- he’s knows and needs a noble prize re health, food and exercise. Everyone is different and depends on age. If I exercise at 8 pm can’t sleep for a while and more energy in the morning. I used to teach cardio classes at lunchtime and that was very evfective
Eric Berg is not a good source of information...he is a Dr. of Chiropractic...his explanations are terrible. You can do cardio anytime of day and get the same result. if you want to do cardio later then sleep in more...it's all about what's best for you.
These videos are being dripped to me at the perfect times in my cut
Doing my cardio on the treadmill right now!!
love it!
Thanks for the video. I have sleep apnea and I’ve noticed when I workout in the evening I find it hard to fall asleep. I’ve always considered it as an adrenaline kick from working out so close to bedtime. What do you think? Also, how does swimming rate as a cardio workout?
Is not good to work out at night the body need s to rest at night
Excellent video, and this is how I have naturally approached my cardio more as a stress reliever. However, during the winter this is where I have struggled recently
Home treadmill?
I like doing low impact cardio first thing in the morning. The dog likes it too........it gets it out of the way early. And if it is a workout day, it means I don't need to tack it on to my gym time. I can use that time to do some HIIT or some type of metcon workout to improve on my overall conditioning. It's also a nice way to start the day. An excuse to watch the sun come up.
I was literally on the treadmill last night googling fasted cardio. Perfect timing for this video. Thx Paul!!!
Happy to help!
Your phone is spying on you 😂
Morning is the best - before breakfast and having CV burn 30 mins before cardio and also 3 tablespoons of raw apple cider vinegar all before cardio and then doing 45 mins of fast walking on a threadmill - 6 days a week - worked wonders for me - then shower after cardio and then breakfast like coffee, 4 egg whites and 2 eggs - trust me try it for a month and watch the difference- stay hard!!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts
Very informative video thank you brother cheers
So nice of you
Neat idea, glad that it's any time is good time.
You got that right!
What’s weird for me is that I love working out cardio or resistance in the evening. Just flows with my day better
Everyone has its own clock i guess , my best time to start resistant training between 1:30 to 2:30pm , if i start at 4 or 5pm i already feel lazy doing that... but i can do cardio (walking ) in the morning or at night time but cannot do it day time...
I find walking on an empty stomach in the morning, saves time. Eat first and nature calls. Haha
Golden information as always
Glad you think so!
you mentioned sometimes you do your walks on the treadmill morning and night depending on what phase your in- can you go into what you mean by these phases and how the walking treadmill workout fits into the phases? thank you!
Another awesome to the point video!
I've been thoroughly enjoying a keto / carnivore diet whilst building strength and losing fat and getting thru sessions no problem.. but not gaining muscle or losing fat at any decent rate.
Maybe in the absence of carbs the gluconeogenesis is not sufficient to fuel my heavy duty workouts and sprints and my muscle might be breaking down to fuel some of that!
I will now try having some fast digesting carbs before my workouts and see how that goes and also start walking fasted in the mornings (having just watched your other video) to burn some body fat whilst insulin levels are low.
Thank you again for your awesome videos.
no carbs makes muscle building tough!
Excellent share Paul. Thank You. Really informative and thinking out of the box for flexible workout times
Gotta find a way
I do fasting cardio and weight training 1st thing on Sunday mornings. I guess I need to get up a little earlier and do it regularly thru the week. Its just that I sometimes have trouble shutting down at bed time even when Ive a long day and feel like Im worn out! 🤔
Signed up for the transformation challenge. Ready to go!
Thank you Luke.
Just wanted to say thank you. I started using fat secret that you mentioned in a different video. And I dropped 2 pounds in a week.
Awesome video as always. Happy New Year! I will be relying on your content a lot for the post-holiday cut. Thank you.
Thank you
Paul, thank you for your commitment to dispelling myths in the simplest way possible. I have a question: Lean bulking without tracking your weight. Any suggestions on strategies that we can use to make sure that we are progressing whilst avoiding putting in excess fat? I fear it may be too difficult to notice until it's too late, or on the other hand, that the fear keeps you from progressing.
I've seen some coaches suggest cycling mini cuts and mini bulks, but there seems to be a lot of division on their effectiveness. Others suggested only eating in a surplus on training day. I was hoping for your input.
you are welcome, I really enjoy sharing what's been working for myself and my clients!
I do my cardio first thing in the morning, fasted. It’s not about the fuel source though. It’s only because I do it so early. I either run, then walk or I do HIIT. Typically the sessions are relatively short, so performance isn’t impacted by it being fasted.
My reason too
I'm waiting to have my first call from 1 of your staff and looking forward to it...I owner and operator my own construction business have 4 kids that do all different sports... the only time I get to my self is before work so I'm training 4am 430 am at the latest start I do mixture of resistance training and cardio.. but its the only time I get to my self considering my kids sports daily start 330pm straight from school finish around 9pm every night...
My thoughts are I seem doomed to never get my ideal body.
With a busy life you must be well organized and planning ahead for sure!
These new videos during your challenge have been so good!!! You're really describing things in such a real and relatable way. Thanks!!!
I appreciate that more to come
Paul, you have really helped me make some big changes. Thanks guy.
Love his smile in the beginning 😂
Thanks Always Paul!!
My pleasure!
When I was in better shape, I recall I would get up, go for a light jog, shower, eat breakfast, THEN go to the gym to move inanimate objects. The broscience said "omg, don't do cardio before weight training!" But, I found zero detriment, even to my squats/deadz. Maybe it's the gap between activities, or the nutrition recharge. And, I'd feel more awake, energized.
(Doing cardio the day after a leg day, well. THEN I feel it.)
My rationalization for fasted cardio is the logic that, overall calories the same, it doesn't matter whether you eat food before or after cardio. Eating after gets me out the door faster.
I find the same thing, fought it for years now I feel great after.
Helpful video, thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
So I’m a nurse. I work 3 12hr shifts per week.
I’m 154 lbs and 28 years old. 12.7% body fat BMR ~1750. (According to weight scale) I understand these are not accurate.
I’m at this stage where I’m like skinny fat but not really even that fat. I just have some unwanted love handles. Under developed chest, etc. i don’t want to say I look terrible but I’m not toned.
I was told to cut before bulking. I do my sessions in full after work. Usually just doing chest day. Leg day. Small muscle groups. Then repeat. I’m not seeing a ton of results on muscle building (3 months 5x weekly). I also do 5-15 min of either HIT (after workout 5 min) or a slow 15 min walk after every lift session. So should I start bulking? I’m pretty nervous to eat a surplus because I really wanted to get lean to show abs and get rid of this Side fat. Or should I just continue until there’s barely any left of side fat and start busting out a bulk to build muscle mass after.
I think at this point I’m gaining a lot of strength but I’m not moving too much on comp. With that being said I do eat super clean, healthy, love cooking. Literally tuna, chicken, salmon, whitefish, tenderloin steak. Barely anything else. Black coffee only. High water intake. (Cheat with a SF redbull, preworkout)
I have a bike ride of 30 min twice a day, 6.30 to work and 16.30 back home the morning ride is fasted
that's awesome!
Great Post Paul!... I am from Argentina! Love to do morning cardio and after 2-3 hours eating proteins and healthy fats. Going to work and do some weights afternoon.... @CMartinSalomon great post
love it!
Our bodies are much smarter than burning Muscle that simple, If in an extreme starvation yes when all the fats are gone, God created our human body to endure and live in extreme conditions
i agree muscle is harder to lose than we think!
@@PaulRevelia Sir I hope you make a video on Omad, I lost 15 kilos in 3 months without even walking though Omad .. Recently only I started walking and working out at home
I definitely guessed that was going to be your answer, however, I'm glad I watched until the end to see your insight as your team has amazing information :) 14" of snow here at my house....maybe a little less snow down there :P Cheers from Canada!
Wow that’s some snow
I always went running or walking for about 5 miles while I fasted.
You give the best advice!
thank you Brian!
Great advice - thanks.
Welcome
Great video Paul! When I used to work in an office, I did some skipping before work and strength training after work. It really is what you can continue to do well - these days I am all about walking for cardio. low impact and the stimulus to fatigue ratio is very low too.
Appreciated
Best youtube channel these days are Paul Revelia and Mind Pump.
Well thank you!
Simple and cool video
Thank you
Hey Paul! Your channel is the best fitness channel out there. Thank you! I recently joined crossfit, I am 80kg and I want to do crossfit 3 times a week and weight training at the gym 3 times a week too. What do you suggest with regards to calories to eat? I do have some excess body fat, so I'm slightly confused. Thanks
have you tracked calories thus far?
@@PaulRevelia yep I have in the past. Eating approx 2100 calories at the moment
Good morning Paul, I have been very intrigued with your videos. Do you do virtual training? Very interested. Thank you for all that you do
all my clients are based online, prophysique.com to setup a consult.
@@PaulRevelia thank you! Did the competition start already?
Imagine if someone just read the titles of all Pauls’s videos and didn’t realize they weren’t the contents of the video.
Happens a lot
Paul, I'm wondering if you have any special advice for those of us with type II diabetes? Our metabolisms are basically broken, and we are usually taking medications that affect glucose and insulin levels. I'm finding it a real challenge to avoid hypoglycemia while trying to lose body fat at the same time. Plus, once insulin levels spike a lot of normal metabolic functions are interrupted.
Thank you Paul 😁
My pleasure!
Not only does our body use preferred fuel source depending on the intensity of said activity, even then it doesn't really matter what source your calories burned come from because if you're in a caloric deficit from the exercise, the net result at the end of the day will be x amount of calories burned. So, for example, even if I burn most of my calories from carbs during a high intensity workout -- yes I depleted mostly glycogen, but -- at the end of the day or week, my body will burn stored fat because it senses it is in a caloric deficit. So you're going to lose fat either way, regardless.
well said!
One of the paradigms has been that eating before cardio, even low intensity, is going to spike insulin and blunt lipolysis. This seems to make sense physiologically.
I do my walk in the morning several hours before my first meal. This just works for me and a big part of it is psychologically feeling like I’m burning fat based on the paradigm above, as cognitively dissonant as that notion may be….
this is false, insulin also stores energy in muscle...it's anabolic.
I'm currently dieting at 9 weeks in and I've lost a good amount of weight currently eating 1700 calories low-mid carbs and do 30 min of cardio post workout first thing in the morning. lately my appetite has been through the roof and constantly thinking about food at work. Should I skip post workout cardio in the morning and do it before bed to help with with appetite from getting out of control?
I shift work. When working days I do 30 min on the treadmill and then weight training after work. On nights I do weight training before work and then often do a HIIT cardio (spin class in Hotworx sauna) in the morning after work. Should I eat after this workout before I go to bed? I'm concerned about burning muscle. I'm currently 5' 9" 175 lbs 14% body fat. Would like to get to 10% and maintain the weight.
Yes I would certainly suggest eating at that time!
I dont know why but if i do any sort of physicsl activity of a med or high intensity in the evening, i end up feeling wired and as a result go to bed/sleep a lot later than usual, which is not ideal when you gotta get up quiet early the following day.
Yes body temperatures go up
Thanks 😊
You're welcome!
I only do one thing before sleep sir.
Hi Paul. What is your choice of morning Cardio and for how long?
Hi. Firstly. Love the content.
I train everyday at 6am. Would it be beneficial to do low intensity cardio straight after weight training reason being. I don’t have time to attend gym In the evenings with my home life. My job involves a lot of walking so I’m regularly doing 10,000 steps a day.
Subscribed. Awesome channel
Welcome aboard!
Thanks for this great detail. I'm a beginner runner so really I'm just doing short spurts of slow jogging with walking in-between. Should I even be worried at all about glycogen levels?
I’m not a running expert
You’re. Chan is so helpful .
Paul, what about doing like a 30 min 2 mile semi-intense but low impact walk at home followed by 45 min strength training ?
Great idea
The best form of cardio is clenbuterol
Yikes only if you want increased anxiety, heart rate problems and less recovery!
@@PaulRevelia haha agree completey. Just kidding around. Appreciate your content btw thank you!
I’m sorry I started my exercise in the morning. Sometimes in the afternoon too .but my aft after I eat my first mea
Paul I joined the challenge. Do you recommend we start cutting now or wait until the starting date? I am a bit confused I see you are already, getting ahead in your cutting.
Read the instructions for starting, we send a logo to take the starting pictures with
Thank you for your insight. I do have a question though, if you do some kind of medium intensity cardio at night, do you not spike your cortisol before your bedtime?
perhaps, but cortisol is not bad if it's acute, only if it's chronic.
Great info. Thanks as usual.
Good afternoon good sir
Great content
If you have the time to respond, what do you think of the Rogue Echo Bike for cardio. I’m a 50 yr old cop with a bad back/k red but otherwise in pretty good condition. I enjoy the bikes but what’s your opinion.
Happy New Year
THat's looks a bit more like higher intensity cardio, i have not used on personally but I do like bikes for steady state.
@@PaulRevelia thx brother
Paul do you believe in the fat burning zone? And if so what is the best way to calculate it since there are a couple different versions, thanks
yes it's true, as i said you burn more fat at lower intensities.
Well said
If you do cardio at night how are you supposed to sleep at night. your body's relaxed but your mind is racing for hours.
Not after walking
I’m 56 and try to stay lean all year round.Are you saying we should do some cardio daily?I have been lifting weights for 3 years now but struggle around the waist as many do.
i try to, may take a day off occasionally as needed but i feel better the more i move.
@@PaulRevelia Thank you appreciate it.
Good stufff
Thanks for the visit
I am a off scheduled hospital worker, with the night shift, what do you recommend as a walk session time?
i would base it around your current sleep schedule, so either right before shift or right after so as not to interfere with sleep.
@@PaulRevelia thank you. Love your videos, so helpful.
Paul my treadmill doesn't have an incline feature. Am I wasting my time on it?
What's your take on diet soda and diet zero soda. What's your honest opinion
i drink lots of it, certainly feels it's fine and has benefits.
So do I eat before a brisk walk in the morning
I do 25k steps a day at work. I don't really do cardio because of this reason just resistance training. What would you recommend for calorie intake. Should i intake more even though i'm trying to lose fat
with that much movement you won't need cardio! Have you tracked your daily calories?
