Re: Before or After? When to Do Cardio in Your Weights Session

  One gets to hear different opinions on this. I had like to know how you guys sequence your workout i.e cardio before weights session (strength training) or vice versa.        Edit: It also ofcourse depends on what you are aiming out of the workout. So what would be the better option for weight loss.

I just go with cardio first. First thing in the morning, empty stomach, I like to get 2-3 miles on the treadmill, followed by around 20mins on elliptical. After that I do weight training for whatever body parts I’m doing for the day (chest/triceps, back/biceps, shoulders/legs, repeat three days and sunday off). That’s my general plan, aim is general overall health and fitness, shed a few extra pounds (which I’ve done already) and develop a good body over time. I’m not really a bodybuilder.
