*shrug* if people can't see the common sense of getting their non-resistance exercise from kayaking or a game of ultimate frisbee or going to a club and dancing or whatever instead of wasting 3-6 hours of of their life every week on the treadmill, I can't do anything about that.

A lot of it is convenience bro. People use treadmills, bikes, and ellipticals b/c they're available in the gym right after their resistance training. Suggesting that people go kayacking or organize a game of ultimate frisbee is nuts. Everybody has different goals and 'finding a heavy rock and lifting it over your head 100 times' doesn't work for everybody.

Crazy or not, some people actually enjoy cardio. Not everybody likes just going to the gym to lift heavy weights all the time.

I have felt "the crash" for sure a few times-and that was just half an hour into weights sessions -suddenly lost energy and feeling extremely tired and weak- which I wouldn't consider to be overly glycogen consuming. I do know that if i was doing all out proper HIIT cardio (as it should be done) - a blood suger crash would arrive sooner and would definitely stop me in my tracks.
Why not use oats instead of the simple sugar source - no extra calories - and low gi carbs are far less likely to result in fat gain than easily absorbed sugar foods - seeing as your aim is to lose bodyfat?

If you ENJOY getting on a cardio machine, go for it. I may think you're weird, but there's room for weird people

Honestly though, I hear so many people on boards and IRL talk about how they don't have time to do anything in their life, and feel like their trapped in a routine with no excitement, then they talk about doing the elliptical an hour a day four or five days a week... HELLO?

As for the heavy rock thing, that sounds like the short of thing I'd do Although I'd probably be throwing the heavy rock around to see how far I could hurl it.

I like the cardio myself because I can watch TV without being a couch potato. I usually work at night so I try to catch up on current events in sports and whatnot while on the elliptical machine. Also it gives you an excuse to watch the girls asses in front of you.

good point...although i highly doubt any fat gain from simple sugars preworkout...i will make the change since it just makes sense
