Strength training first or cardio on empty stomach first?
I’m a light weight body builder who has always done cardio first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. Did a 1/2 marathon last year and was very successful. Now going back to body building but I want to change my workouts. I would like to strength train 1st thing in the morning and do cardio later in the afternoon. Will I see the same success?
Hello Brenda,
Working out on an empty stomach as a bodybuilder.. probably not a good idea.
Feed your body first after you wake in the morning, let it settle and hit the weights hard!
Your cardio is pirmarily for fat and weight control (cardiovascular benefits as well).
If youre running marathon/s etc….why bodybuild?…counter-productive.
Bodybuilding as you know is an extreme sport…even nutritionally.
Sincerely,
Michael
