When to do cardio

**Tanker** · 03-14-2014, 12:27 AM

ok during a bulking cycle, i kno it is good to do cardio. but when should you do it? right before a workout? right after a workout? or later in the day (i work out in the mornings). I know that if you do it later in the day that spikes your metabolism thus burning more calories. But right after a workout the body needs nutrients. so should i take a protein shake to the gym, drink it, then do cardio or should i do it before or wat? wat are you guys thoughts on this?

I do cardio right after my workouts, regardless if I workout in the morning or evening. Minimum of 20 minutes keeping heart rate around 135 beats per minute

I make sure to drink a protein drink within 30 minutes after workout.

I do my cardio after as well.

If I were you and worked out in the am I would do cardio in afternoon. I personally do cardio in the am and lift weights in pm.

Either way I Definetly wouldn't do cardio before your workout. You'll sacrifice your energy with lifts and this gains

I need to start warming up and stretching a lot more before my workouts . As this long winter has progressed so have the nagging injuries I deal with ! I'm sure I'm not alone here.
Squatted yesterday and my lower back is on fire and I can't stand straight . Ten / twelve years ago I could ignore the pain but a decade later not so much.
