Lifting in the morning, cardio at night?

[Trimen1000]

I was sitting around eating and I had an idea.

I do my lifting in the morning (8:00). It has the lifting then a a little bit of HIIT (about 10 min).

I was wondering what effect another cardio session at night would be. Has anyone tried it? Whether you've tried it or not, do you think it's a good idea?

It could be used if the cardio at night if low intensity

I do it ... it works ... more fat gets burned ... your energy levels are not spent before your lift (during the morning as compared to later after cardio) ... I would give it a try!

That's how I do it.

Mon, Wed, Fri. lifting in the morning
Tue, Thurs, Sat HIIT in the morning

Every late afternoon before dinner (some time within 4pm-6pm) I do a moderate 30 minute cardio session (average HR at 80%, but also with a sprint or two thrown in).

The main reason I double up though is because I sit at a computer the rest of the day at work so I need the additional session to get my activity.... and usually I'm more than ready for it by the end of the work day.

My energy level generally sucks in the morning so I'm testing light cardio in the morning (kinda wakes me up) and lifting around 6-7pm.

you can always benefit from more cardio especially if your trying to lose weight. and thanks for the response on my swim question i appreciate all the help i can get. i normally swim twice a day and it rips me up pretty good so i would defeintly say more cardio will have its advantages

I like to lift in the morning... that way there are less people in the gym to see how weak and pathetic with the free weights I am.
