Real BEST Cardio

[Nelson Montana]

To all:

What makes you presume you're burning fat if the cardio is first thing in the morning? Because you're hungry?

You would have to run about 10 miles before you used all the available glucose in your body. And you'd still burn more muscle than fat.

Glutimine will do nothing except raise ammonia levels in the bood.

i think many including myself would disagree with you on the cardio in the morning being a bad idea...especially the endomorphs, i would assume going catabolic is more an ecto concern...that is just my opinion though...

Hmm. Would traditional cardio (re: running, cycling) cause more upper body mass to be burned? If so, then how is swimming for burning fat?

I think the answer lies in this question: What changes does the body experience during cardio? What exactly does it do, and (hopefully) why? I would really like to know that.

If muscle wasting is really a problem with cardio, then why can't we just diet? It may not be as fast, but would it preserve more muscle? Honestly, I would rather just eat less than seriously risk losing gains.

Anyone?

Does anyone know for sure if going catabolic is more of a concern to ectomorphs and endomorphs need not worry as much. As for dieting on its own...science would imply to me that as long as your running a calorie deficit, the fat should come off, but personally, I can't seem to get slim without cardio. I do not eat a lot and never really had, but seem to have a problem keeping the fat controlled. I don't care though, I will be 8% through dedication and hard training/dieting.

I run a mile and play basketball 3 times a week in the afternoon, but I am not trying to lose weight.
