Re: Only Brief Cardio BEFORE Strength Training (...

April 9, 2006

Is it O.K. to split up cardio and weighted workouts on the same day instead

of doing cardio right after weights?. Such as do cardio in the morning

and then weights in the evening? The cardio shouldn't interfere with the

weights after hours of rest should it? Will the results still be the same?

Now THAT i READ WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT CARDIO... I'm going to switch it around

but today I have to do the cardio first and I guess I'll just do me weights

tonight. Hate doing that cause at the end of the night ...I really don't feel

like working out. But I'm gonna try anyways.

Hi n

I was following the 8 week walk/running guide in the files. The days for

it and BFL cardio don't always match up and I figured a little extra cardio on

weight days probably wouldn't hurt cause I also read that pear shapes like I

am could use extra cardio workouts and it doesn't hurt to do more cardio

when you are trying to lose fat. I have a lot of fat on my stomach,. wide

hips, widebutt and huge thighs and calves. The two just walking days that I

did .. I really felt it in my legs...and butt,and stomach! There is nothing

like pushing your own body weight in a forward motion!LOL

Do you think I would benefit more from doing the walk/run on just cardio

days? I have other cardio workouts that I just love such as Kenpo and Plyo

training that I will do along with the extra thirty minutes of walk/run on

cardio days. It really doesn't matter to me if I'm officially running by the

end of 8 weeks...It was a goal that I had set..but...I'm already off/ behind on

the workouts cause I've had to take more rest days than the schedule...but

hey it's all a process. When I can run for 30 minutes non stop...then that

will be the greatest goal not the time limit that I had set. And if that

doesn't even happen.... cause of having four kids, I don't know if my

bladder can handle it....If that is the case....then just fast walking will

have

to be enough and I'll work on getting my time lower.

Colleen Marie -

I'm not , but why are you doing cardio and weights on the same day?

BFL has 3 days a week of weights and 3 days a week of cardio

H Colleen Marie -

I'm not experienced enuf to advise you on exercise.

My concern was that new folks, reading the messages, would think that BFL

recommends doing HIIT every day.

Which is not what you're doing - but I didn't want to confuse new-comers.

I'm sure and other will be able to address your questions

It honestly doesn't matter. Do whatever works for you. For runners,

running is generally the priority so it's ok if it comes before

weights. Getting the workouts done always has a far, far greater

impact on your results than getting the timing just right. I almost

always walk/run 3-5 miles with the dogs before I go to the gym for

weights and HIIT. That's just the way my schedule works. I'd have some

seriously psychotic canines if I eliminated their morning walk so I

could get my workout timing just so. Working out at the " wrong " time

burns a lot more fat than watching the clock and hoping you have time

to squeeze it in later.
