Which is better approach, do HIIT before or after workout?

[boadil]

I was off since December and started the T-25 videos at home every morning. Then i started to go a little irregular to the gym. Before that in January i was 17% of fat, i did the Inbody test again yesterday and now i loose 2% of muscle mass and increased to 19% in fat.

I'm 39 years old. Besides the food habits (which i care a lot) what else i should change to regain the and maintain my muscle mass?

I personally save my HIIT for after workout cause it interferes with my weightlifting.

If you're lifting and doing HIIT do it after to conserve your CNS.

After. All energy and strength should be dedicated to weights during those sessions you lift + cardio.

You lose 2% muscle tissue and gained 2% body fat?

You need to fix your diet before anything else.

You're totally right. But i did not ate more fat during the off season, i keep te calories low cause i was planning to do the HIIT. But definitely i need to re-check my protein intake.

I do HIIT 4 times per week (for 20 minutes) right after my weightlifting workout. I do 30 second intervals, doing 30 seconds as hard as I can, then take a minute off (normal pace), then 30 seconds hard again, 1 minute off, etc.
