| Registered User | Ok, it involves buying equipment, but I found boxing in three minute rounds, with a break in between was excellent morning cardio. bet you can get a Heavy bag and gloves for about $100 - 150$ on ebay that would do the trick. bas ruttens tapes are quite good for this too. bit of an aside, but I found it a great aerobic workout with some impact / strength and confidence benefits |

| Registered User | Good point - the "cardio" is really a matter of buying into a specific duration of raising your heart rate to a specific level. That reves up your metabolism so you can burn fat - it is that simple. There are many ways to accomplish this - lining up women to have %&%$ :-) with for example. Now two ways in general to achieve this - SLOW - treadmill type work with a 65% of heart rate max for 40-50 min. OR - like the previous note - High Intensity Interval Training. 20-30 min with your heart rate bouncing up into the 85%+ range in intervals. Scientific research supports HIIT as the better way to retain muscle and lose fat in the long run - However, I have not seen studies where the low intensity twice a day was compaired. Within 24 hrs they burned the same about of fat - but the longer term testing showed HIIT winning out. |

| Registered User | 1st thing in the morning BEFORE breakfast is the best way to burn fat - and taking some protein just means it has to be digested - I prefer taking amino acids to save muscle - straight BCAAs, L-Glutamine, and some L-Carnitine. Even Stamin02 (cenitrillium malitate) is great. |

| Registered User | Hi 8-pack - Several plausible mechanisms for a beneficial effect of coffee on glucose metabolism exist. Coffee has been shown to be a major contributor to the total in vitro antioxidant capacity of the diet, which may be relevant as oxidative stress can contribute to the development of type 2 diabetes. Coffee is the major source of the phenol chlorogenic acid. Intake of chlorogenic acid has been shown to reduce glucose concentrations in rats, and intake of quinides, degradation products of chlorogenic acids, increased insulin sensitivity in rats. Chlorogenic acid contributes to the antioxidant effects of coffee, may reduce hepatic glucose output through inhibition of glucose-6-phosphatase, and may improve tissue mineral distribution through its action as a metal chelator. In addition, chlorogenic acid acts as a competitive inhibitor of glucose absorption in the intestine. Indeed, decaffeinated coffee seemed to delay intestinal absorption of glucose and increased glucagon-like peptide-1 concentrations in an intervention study in humans. Glucagon-like peptide-1 is well known for its beneficial effects on glucose-induced insulin secretion and insulin action. This effect may explain the observation that higher coffee consumption was associated with lower postload, rather than fasting, glucose concentrations. |

So in a nutshell, with the second abstract there, if you ingest protein prior to a workout it blunts GH, and it also prevents mobiliztion of fatty acids PWo as well? | |

| Registered User | Sounds like muscle gain and fat loss goals are met by coming into the workout on an empty stomach - with the exception of some amino acids and possibly some stimulants to get you going and keep you from losing muscle. too bad they dont speak english |

| Registered User | The authors systematically reviewed all available epidemiological evidence on the relation between habitual coffee consumption and risk of type 2 diabetes. The authors conclude that their systematic review supports the hypothesis that habitual coffee consumption is associated with a substantially lower risk of type 2 diabetes. Longer-term intervention studies of coffee consumption and glucose metabolism are warranted to examine the mechanisms underlying the relationship between coffee consumption and type 2 diabetes.

| Registered User | no problem - :-) So if your fat - drink coffee before hand your morning cardio - want to lose more fat - ??? eat fish, EFA oils(10%), and lower your carbs toward 20% of your calories - slowly over 6-8 weeks |

| Registered User | Sorry for the absence. Great info here, I am definitely a believer in coffee and caffein both. What mentioned earlier w/ respect to glucose metabolism (normally a good thing) is that the idea of AM cardio is that you try to minimize glucose metabolism. Your body is in a state that is ideal for burning fat 1st thing (high FFA concentrations in the blood). I feel that stimulants and glucose metabolism up regulation (of which it appears that coffee is both)would be counter productive for this very specific type of low intensity work out designed to rely heavily on FFA. Hopefully my thoughts came across a little more clearly here. Also the quoted article talks alot about glucose absorption in the gut, not really of much importance when exercising on an empty stomach ![]() again thanks for the thoughts, it is always good to try and get a deeper understanding - I know I have plenty of room for improvement here. [as a disclaimer this I am not a nutrition expert - just someone who finds it very interesting, as well as pertinent] Quote:

| Registered User | I have tried both low intensity and running sprints in the morning. If you are trying to do a recomp i would say go with the low intensity cardio so that it doesnt interfere with your weight training. However, if you want to melt fat off fast, sprints in the am on an empty stomach do the trick. Combine this with full body workouts 3x a week ala hst, you will be one ripped dude. |
