When should you do cardio whilst cutting?

Hey Harry,

Both would suffice, however depends on different factors, work, preference of doing so etc. Personally I would start by doing cardio immediately after your workouts, take some BCAA's or EAA's straight after the weights and then finish up with your cardio be that 30-60 minutes steady pace or 20-40 minutes intervals, then down your shake after you've stepped foot off of the treadmill.

Once you notice your bodyfat loss halting, then you can think about doing one of two things, altering your carb content in your diet or look at keeping that the same and incorporating two sessions of cardio 1x morning and 1x after the weights, I prefer taking carbs from the diet first as two bouts of cardio and a weights session can be demanding on the body.

How is your cutting coming along mate?

Hey Dean, I've been currently cutting for a month mostly through diet. My aim is to incorporate more cardio. I can do it any time of the day. My question was mainly to find out when it would be most effective.

The things I thought about were that I am more inclined to do cardio when I have more energy (opposite end of the day to weights), plus after a workout I will be delaying my post workout nutrition if I add cardio after, so my body might not be getting what it needs straight away.

Hence why would you take BCAA's or EAA's after your weights to curb any onset of catabolism should it try and come forth. Regarding cardio, doing it after weights will dig into those stubborn fat cells that you want to shift as all of your glyocgen has been depleted. If you were to do your cardio in the morning, that too would be on an empty stomach as well, both have the same benefit its just time of day.
