Hi, I have currently begun lifting 4x a week. I'm doing a upper lower split. I did my research on diet etc so i have that sorted but I have been thinking when should I be doing cardio? I'm recomping. I'm pretty smashed already after my workouts.
I'm 5'10 and 14.5 stone. So I'm quite over weight. Hardly any is muscle!
Thanks for any feed back!
Im not quite sure how many pounds 14.5 stone is, but you said you are "quite overweight"
I would suggest doing light-moderate intensity cardio (treadmill, eliptical, bike, walk through the park) for 30 min 3 days a week for your first 3 weeks, then add a 4th day for 3 weeks. Then, You should be at a moderate pace for 30 min.
If you can not complete the whole 30 min at once you can do it in (2) 15 minute bouts or (3) 10 minute bouts and rest for 5-10 minutes between, for a few weeks. Slowly progressing toward a straight through 30 minute session. If you try to do to much, too soon you may discourage yourself and lose interst. Also, remember to try and do a variety of activities, boredom sucks!
Best wishes!
