Hey all - Just been doing this new training regimen, where basically instead of doing
(1) cardio warmup
(2) Weights (either Back / Abs, Chest / Bi's, Shoulders / Tri's, or Legs)
(3) cardio
I've been doing:
AM: Warmup - Bi's - Cardio
PM: Warmup - Chest - Cardio
This way I can fit in more burned calories and focus on the muscle being worked on more.
***My question is this***:
General knowledge says that it takes 20 minutes of cardio before you start to burn fat, SO, does doing a 7-min cardio warmup, then 20+ min of weightlifting satisfy the requirement so that most of the cardio at the end is burning fat?
In other words, does weightlifting count towards the 20 minutes before fat burn really starts, or does the 20-min before fat-burn have to be cardio???
Thanks in advance for any input!!!
