Cardio + Workout?

[No1zSaif]

Is it okay to workout and do cardio?

im doing cardio at 9 am and 3 pm and then workout at 9 pm

is this okay? i get plenty of rest so my body doesent feel tired so thats always good.

just wondering if thats okay but i dont know what im aiming at when people ask me are you cutting or building. i dont know what to tell them because i intake around 2000 cals and i burn 500/700

any advice?

You burn a lot more than 700. What, you think that when you're sitting in a chair your body just shuts down?

2000 is roughly maintenance for most people. You have to see for yourself if it's enough for your needs (or too much).

Just make sure you are getting enough protein+carbs(especially around your workouts)

yeah, i'm intaking slightly more carbs now because of all the extra cardio.
but, I dont know if im losing or gaining. I'm gaining about 1 pound a week? I guess.. but I cant tell if its muscle or fat? :*( i do see a slight improvment though i just hope it doesent crash or if im doing it too slow..

[No1zSaif]

bum with my nuts.

bump?

Dude, you gotta know if you wanna lose fat or gain muscle...
I wouldn't do cardio on the same day as weights no matter what though.

i burn 2200 cals sittin' on my butt all day....not counting the extra 400-500 lifting and the 200 doing cardio 3 times a week.

[MrConceided]

If you are doing cardio and lifting on the same day, your body will not have enough energy to rebuild muscle properly, I don't care what you try. Unless you are doing low intensity cardio, like walking, or something like that. Which doesn't classify as cardio.

Wrong.

I guess everyone should just sit on their ass all day except for going to the gym so your muscle will repair properly and not even worry about overall fitness or health(just get as big as possible and not worry about bf or health).

Yeah, maybe it's not optimal but I find it highly unlikely that you will notice any difference as long as they are spaced out by a good time period of hours. I agree, if you do cardio immediately following lifting you probably will notice lack of gains.

...And honestly, what is the point of low intenisty cardio?

Actually I would suggest doing cardio on workout days. Think about it, if you do cardio first thing in the morning, your metabolism will be increased, therefore you will be able to eat more. I don't think I need to go further.

[No1zSaif]

well yeah for the past week and a half now this is what i have been doing. i feel great a little tired but i get plenty of rest from sitting on the computer to watching TV and if im always playing basketball or swimming then i cut my cardio in the morning its all on how my body feels really.

but i do it at like 9 am and i workout at like 9PM thats 12 hours later. so yes its very spaced out..

and im intaking slightly more carbs now and slightly more protien more of like a 6 oz tuna can thats like 120Grams protien although most of it goes to ****. becuase the body cant take all at once.

so yeah? any comments? on this being ok and as for cardio its moderate not INTENSE! just something to get me up and sweating.. (not like running from the cops kind of intense. lol)

[No1zSaif]

baby let me see your body go bump bump bump.. LOL

Seperate the two. The first one will have a detrimental effect on the second one, if they're not sepearted by at least 8 hours IMO. I either do them on different days...or one in the morning and one at night.
