Tredmill after weights

[ssj-hawk]

is it ok for about 20 - 30minutes?

 

[gymtime]

I'd keep it closer to 20, but yeah that's fine.

I always do cardio after lifting. This is just my theory...but who knows. If you burn some sugar during your anerobic exercise (intense lifting) then you should have to spend less time doing aerobic exercise before you begin to burn fat. You should have less glucose in your blood stream.

Make any sense?

Of course...all of this comes from a fat man...so it probably means little.

I personally do my lifting and cardio work on different days. Usually after I lift all I want to do is get the hell out of the gym. But that is my opinion

 

[NateDogg]

I agree with b fold. Also, if I'm already there, it reduces the number of excuses I can come up with to not do cardio !

If i would do cardio after an intense workout with weights, i would fall face flat on the treadmill.

 

[captaintude]

I usually do around 15 to 20 min cardio after weights, then on off days I do 30 min cardio and abs.

Yes, that is fine. I do that as well. But keep the intensity low-med so you will use your stored fat for fuel and not your muscles!

yeah bro your right. scientifically its been proven. the reason being when you work out with weights you burn up the muscle stored form of energy which is gycogen in the muscles. when u do cardio after your body will have depleted more of its stores of glycogen and your body will need an alternate source of fuel, which will come mostly from fat. do too much though and your muscle protein stores will be used alot as well.

I find that people get really upset if you order a pizza from your cell phone while in the gym and on the tread mill. "I'd like a large meat lovers delivered to the 4th treadmill...".
