cardio for fat loss

[pike place]

is it more efficient to do fasted cardio or post workout cardio for fat loss?

 

[DennisTheDane]

IF you goal is fatloss... I would do a short warm up on the treadmill... Then do a fullbody workout.. And then do 30 min cardio sesh after.. And look at your kcal intake,

HIIT cardio post lifting session for 10-15 minutes is the best! If you have a standstill in fat loss then add 30-45 minutes fasted LISS (low intensity cardio) in the mornings don't let heart rate go above 140.

Both methods are effective for fat loss, some people prefer one over the other. I personally like fasted low intensity cardio in the morning, but its personal preference. The key for fat loss is making sure that you're in a calorie deficit, whether it be from increased cardio or decreased calorie intake

I don't think there's a 100% right or wrong answer. I'll go with whichever you like. If fat loss is your goal, whichever one you enjoy (and therefore will actually do regularly) is the one that is best for you.

I'd say fasted cardio. That's what I do at least and it works for me.

Cardio is a great method for fat loss. One of my friend is using this method. Really helpful.

What is this cardio you speak of and does it come in a powder or pill form?

Lol ^^^^ This.

That is exactly why doing whatever cardio works best for you, is best choice. Fasted cardio in the morning is great...for people who enjoy mornings. Everyone is different. I prefer horizontal cardio personally.

 

[Aaronfinch]

Yes, you are right. Different people like different methods. However, horizontal cardio is good so far. Thanks!

^this. most people over complicate cardio and weight loss. All you need is a deficit and cardio just helps to create a little more of a deficit in calories. the largest component to your caloric deficit will be diet.

weight loss can become complicated and difficult if a person destroys their body from not refeeding or eating too few calories chronically or from being at an already low bodyfat percentage. With that being said , 90% of the population can lose weight without needing to do anything fancy (carb cycling, pre/post routines, etc).
