      The Ethical Omnivore because it warms up the muscles. they need to be warmed up before any exercise. less chance of injury. warm up and stretch then lift. doing Cardio after you lift is like "helping yourself". not much effort is needed after you lift with your legs and do Cardio. your muscles have all the chemicals and lactic acid so it's easier for you to run. I ran track and the coach didn't like it when we lifted and then ran. it requires more effort when you run first. you burn more fat the faster you run because you are training the heart to pump to a certain threshold. optimal. less injuries when your muscles are warmed and stretched.

    I always do a light session of cardio before weight workout (even when trying to pack on strictly mass). Studies show that lifting directly after cardio yields a higher testosterone spike than lifting by itself. This of course means faster recovery and better gains. After the weight session, lighlty stretch, and do main cardio workout, and finish with just a couple lifts to maximize that test spike then do a full routine stretch. Might be over thinking it, but I've tried several different styles and this is what leaves me feeling the best and shows best results. Maximizes strength, cardio, recovery, and flexibility.

      Well no shit it depends. You need to know the factors and variables that lean it one way or another. Should you eat 4000 calories a day? It depends. Do you need it based on the various factors associated with using calories and certain goals? Then yes. Do you not need it based on those factors? Then no. The point of videos that ultimately say "it depends" is to show you various things that may influence your choice

    I workout after a 12 hour work day of sitting. Cardio first tends to wake me up and allows me to be more energetic, plus I like the feeling of being warmed up and I continue sweating throughout my workout. I notice that I just drag through lifting if I don't do at least 20 minutes of cardio. I wonder if anyone else feels the same, most of my research points to cardio after weights.
    I don't really care to get huge so I'm hoping this helps me get lean. I also walk my dogs when I get home and get more cardio in. I guess its like a cardio sandwich

    Just throwing this out there, I joined a boxing gym at 198 pounds, I always do my boxing workout first which is around 2 hours and 30 minutes, after that I lift weights explosively for about 20- 30 minutes. I am now 156lbs. It's taken me about 5 months and a half to get to 156, I've maintained my current muscle mass and have been able to increase it just slightly although I have been getting stronger. If your goal is to lose weight and build extreme cardio endurance I'd suggest intense cardio first and lifting later (if you don't mind making little gains). (I do this 5 days a week)

    Thanks for the video. I prefer to do some light cardio for a warm up, then lift, then heavy cardio. If you do heavy cardio first, you sweat a lot, and that means leaving puddles of sweat around the gym, which is kind of rude. If you are going to do heavy cardio first, you need to hydrate before lifting weights.

Not fatigued at all doing the cardio stuff first. Maybe cuz of my keto diet, I use ketones for energy instead of glucose, so doesn't matter about the glycogen running out. Still running on the ketones instead which won't run out.

      if you run in the morning, you are more likely to burn fat since your body will be in a fasted state most mornings. at night, it will be more likely to keep you up and you will just be burning calories you ate earlier that day. also, doing cardio in the morning makes you calmer for the rest of the day, so long as you dont go overboard.

    I do. 1 hour cardio with high and low intensity both AT 7Am daily and then 5-10 mins rest then I do Hit weights according to muscle day at 8 am daily , I dont hit any muscles twice a week , anytime is best for Cardio or Weights if your mind allows you to do it.
    Monday - Shoulder
    Tuesday- Legs
    Wednesday - Biceps
    Thursday - Triceps
    Friday - Chest
    Saturday - Back
    Sunday - REST DAY

    Ive tried both and can say definitely lift first, Lifting uses so much energy, it will suffer if you do cardio first. I almost had the bar for bench press collapse on me, because i felt too weak to do my normal set after cardio.

  • @otahu26
    @otahu26 Год назад

    I've been at it for 25 years. I have always Done Cardio first(carrying 40lbs lifting over my head. sides etc for a full hour to two hours. Then Weights for half hour switching lower day with upper day. I also do yoga after for 20 min. 4 days a week and it still does not prepare you for a full day hike of 40km carrying a pack or the days in the garden raking. Go kayak for 10 hours or peddle bike 200 km. Your body is amazing and will adapt.

      @buzzmeanytime 7 лет назад

      gymshark is bae keep doing Cardio first because it warms up the muscles. they need to be warmed up before any exercise. less chance of injury. warm up and stretch then lift. doing Cardio after you lift is like "helping yourself". not much effort is needed after you lift with your legs and do Cardio. your muscles have all the chemicals and lactic acid so it's easier for you to run. I ran track and the coach didn't like it when we lifted and then ran. it requires more effort when you run first. you burn more fat the faster you run because you are training the heart to pump to a certain threshold. optimal.

    The best advice is to split the day morning cardio and evening workout .Or if you dont have the time to split your days to do lite cardio on workout days 25/35 minutes then workout and on the weekend go full steam cardio . never do cardio after a workout this is the time your body is looking for protein something cardio will further deplete in ur body as it takes about the same amount of time a cardio work lasts to get protein in your body after eating . This is why so many end up with small to no gains

    I observed over the perdiod of 6 months that 2x10 min or 15-20min straight of mid-range Ergometer rowing before doing pushups has the following effects:
    a) it increases rep range by 1-2 of first 2 sets
    b) doing pushups (or cobra pushups) hurts a little less
    For me the steady rowing falls into 25-26 swings/min. with 11/15 load (225-245 Watts) on my Kettler rower. 5-10min rest before pushups. It somehow feels right to do rowing as a warmup.

  • @kurtjakes
    @kurtjakes 6 лет назад +6

    I always run 2 miles on the treadmill before lifting weights. I find its good as a warm up but the main reason I switched from doing it after lifting was simply because necking a protein shake right after doing weights is something I like to do asap and going for a run with that in me wasn't too great.

  • @anisabrous5081

    I have a question then... I've been doing a LOT of research those last months before my mother and I begin working out. I have planned for us to do calisthenics every couple of days, to get proper rest, but we also want to work on our cardio to improve our endurance. Knowing that I'm a young adult, she's a rather old one, and we're both rather new to fitness, my question is : should we do cardio between calisthenics days to maximise performance every day, or will it be too much and we should rather do it right after the resistance workouts ? But then again, is it too much to do compound calisthenics exercises 3-4 times a week with 48 hours of recovery between each workout... Hope you see this comment and help me ^.^ Either way, keep going on with whatever you wanna do on this channel, cause your vids are awesome !

    Definitely lifting first. If you do cardio first you will have no PCR left in your muscles, making it very difficult to lift to your normal capacity, meaning you will at best be doing toning, and weakly at that. Conversely, lifting first will tire out individual muscle groups, but the body as a whole will still be operating efficiently enough to bike, run, etc.

I understand that everything takes its time, but im running on a tight schedule and I get about 1 hour almost everyday. To some this is probably good enough, if they weren't overweight, but I am. I might be wrong by thinking this, but a cardio work out anytime I can I'll take. Being that, I also understand that certain muscle groups need time to recover more compared to the time to recover in cardio. I guess what im saying is, I don't know if doing cardio (almost everyday) and doing certain muscle groups each day is good? I just need a second opinion from people, thank you!
