I plan on lifting three days a week but I want to lose a lot of fat also, so I really want to do cardio. Can I run on an elliptical every day or maybe 5 days a week and not have it be bad for me? And is it a good idea to do cardio before and after lifting, or should it just be one or the other? Thanks!

if your main goal IS fat loss at this time, then cardio is gonna help, but you probably don't need to do it 5x a week. if you lift three days and do cardio on your off days, you are essentially raising your metabolism everyday and burning more calories, so you probably don't need to do it on your lifting days. rememer though, that you might be sacrificing some muscle mass with increased aerobic activity, but ultimately if you are overweight and want to lose fat there are certain sacrifices that come along with it, that doesn't mean you can't minimize it though. check out the fat loss section. some article iin there you might want to read.

Still... Diet is the key to get lean. You can do 4 hours of cardio each week, but if you over-eat, you're wasting your time.Originally Posted by Nightwolfer
