Is this correct?
Some people have told me to not do H.I.I.T while you're making muscle by weight lifting. Since that H.I.I.T will melt your muscle as well as the fat.
I don't want that happening.
I do a lot of this(Jump Rope),
http://www.shapefit.com/cardio-exercises.html
Sometimes even thrice a day.For the real high intensity cardio people out there who love the H.I.I.T training (High Intensity Interval Training), below are the top three cardio exercise which will provide amazing results!
1. Jumping Rope - This is one of the simplest, yet most effective exercises one can do. In just 15 to 20 minutes, jumping rope will give you an unparalleled total body workout. Jumping rope is ideal for cardiovascular endurance and enhances performance in virtually any sport - tennis, basketball, football, skiing, volleyball and more. This simple exercise is also great for eye-hand coordination, lateral movement, foot and hand speed and agility.
Please someone demystify this.
EDIT: Sorry, wrong section. Mod, please move thread to Fat Loss forum.

I have a buddy who is studying kinesiology told me that doing cardio while trying to gain muscle is not bad for you. It's a myth. He said that cardio burns fat. I would remember that timing is key. It's better to not do cardio after lifting.
Check out this link:

Good luck, man... and keep on doing cardio.

Cardio not after weight lifting...
Do you mean not right after weight lifting(10-20-30 minutes), or not even 3 hours later?
Thanks for the link. I'll give it a read. Is this legit though? I mean the page is black and has yellow text etc. Kind of like an eye grabber technique. You know, "ATTENTION" in blue or some fancy color type thing.
No offense, just inquiring.

Very simple:
Look at the physique of Long distance runners compared to sprinters. The sprinters have alot more muscle mass and very low bf%. Where as long distance runners usually have low muscle mass and low bf%.
So to answer your question. Cardio does not melt muscle. Its a matter of how much and how often. If you plan on being a long distance runner and competing in marathons, then I can guarantee you that you will not look like a professional natural body builder.
Look into the Gorilla Cardio. It will help you out.Last edited by HYP3R; 03-27-2006 at 12:18 PM.

That not really too much cardio. 20 min HIIT for 3 days a week or doing what you are doing should be ok. However, I wouldn't do the HIIT before lifting. I would do it after. I think it has something to do with glycogen stores. I don't pretend to know, I have just heard it many times that its best to do cardio after weights instead of vice versa.

anyway...
yes hiit will burn muscle, but not nearly to any appreciable amount when compared to the amount of fat you lose. if you really are completely anal about muscle retention, then stick to diet and weight lifting for fat loss.
