we have 2 main types of cardio listed here:
high intensity
-burns more calories throughout the day
-short but sudden bursts
-burns mainly glucose first
-some have lost muscle as well as fat but this could be actually water weight
low intensity
-long fast walk/jog
-immediately burns fat but lower amount of calories
-good for holding muscles
at the moment if one is in a calorie deficit looking to build muscle while still cutting on fat,
5 workouts a week, sat and sun 45 mins liss(low intensity cardio)) would it be better to do liss for 45 mins sat and sun or
after every workout do 10-15 mins of cardio?
if better to do cardio after workout what type would have better results with the goal of cutting fat but still gaining muscle? and how long should this be performed?
