Cardio before or after I eat?
I workout at least 5 times a week. I used to be kind of pudgy, I was getting close to 190lbs and my weight was climbing. When I was 19 I started walking three miles a couple times a week and did crunches and pushups at home. Then I bumped it up to running in increments and then started lifting weights. I'm 22 now and I'm at a gym. I've made moderate progress and I'm pleased with how far I've come. I have more broad shoulders, my chest is starting to get more defined, but my main problem area is my hips and my stomach. I never have a concrete schedule so my body doesn't conform to a routine. I heard the best way to burn body fat is cardio. Should I eat and wait an hour before I run? Or should I run before I eat and that way I'm not dealing with cramps? What other fat burning methods are there I can use to get my abs to really show?
