is it better to do cardio b4 or after a lift?
Agreed. Some people like to do 5 minutes before a w/o to warmup, if thats your kinda thing, but if it is specifically for weight loss, after wards would be better. Also there are studies that show doing cardio after a w/o raises GH levels.well it'd depend on your goal, but if trying to build muscle I would do it on a seperate day, if trying to build muscle and must do it same day, probably afterwards but you'll most likely become catabolic so I wouldn't do it in excess.
Not quite sure if I agree with this statement as a general rule. I think diet and cardio go hand in hand. If you do less cardio, you have to work harder on your diet. If you want to eat more food, more cardio is necessary.why are you doing cardio? are you competing?
Diet Trumps Cardio. Just eat less.
As far as caloric expenditure goes, they are both equally the same. You can choose to burn as many kcals you want, likewise you can consume as many kcals as you want. However, exercise has added benefits which a diet alone cannot do (cardiovascular health-bp,rhr; aids in primary and secondary prevention/treatment of many chronic disease such as pulmonary disease (COPD), osteoporosis, metabolic disease (hypothyroidism, diabetes (type II)). Not to mention strength benefits as well.why are you doing cardio? are you competing?

I guess; But You can get a lot those benefits from lifting weights. If you do enough cardio, you'll start looking like an old lady.As far as caloric expenditure goes, they are both equally the same.

Exercise doesn't just pertain to cardiovascular and cardiorespiratory training, it also includes weight lifting.I guess; But You can get a lot those benefits from lifting weights. If you do enough cardio, you'll start looking like an old lady.
I resistance train 1.5 - 2 hrs a day. Thats a ton of cals burned.
In my experience, the more cardio i do, the hungrier i become. So Its counterproductive in my case, i guess.
For a start resistance training every day for 1.5-2 hours is not advisable.I guess; But You can get a lot those benefits from lifting weights. If you do enough cardio, you'll start looking like an old lady.

However, I will agree that asking about what the goals are regarding this question is a good start to figuring it al out.
"Steady State Cardio" does plenty for ANYONE of ANY WEIGHT CLASS. Not only does it elicit metabolic effects such as t3 receptor remodeling, which allows plasma t3 to bind and elicit its metabolic effects. Also, cardiovascular training aids in primary and secondary prevention/treatment of many chronic diseases (CVD, PAD, COPD, Metabolic Diseases). And, at lower intensity exercise ~60% substrate selection comes from lipids, 35-38% carbohydrates, 2-5% protein. We all know that higher intensity burns less fat % ~30-40% however total kcals burned is much higher so in actuality you potentially burn more fat at higher intensity "steady state cardio". A high intensity "stead state cardio" for a lengthened duration causes a shift in substrate selection from carbohydrates back to lipids even at high intensity.I think cardio is popular with those who weigh less then 200lbs... It keeps the skinny kids skinny!
FK cardio!!! if you want to burn fat do complexes. If you look at all the people on the hampster wheels you will see that its not doing them much good!!! There was an article on t-nation . com not to long ago that posted research showing that steady state cardio doesent do **** for you unless you have a lot...A LOT!!! OF MUSCLE MASS! That does not apply to you mr skinny under 220!
man.. I am such an a hole sometimes. forgive me
