Cardio before or after lifting?

Question

So ready to get back in the gym after my 3rd baby is born in a few weeks!

Answer

Weights and then cardio. 
If you do cardio before lifting weights, you’re exhausting your muscles (breaking down tissue), preventing you from lifting heavier. 
If you do weights first, you’re building strength. Then after you exhaust all of your glycogen, doing cardio will result in a more fat being burned. Hope this helps!!

Answer

Cardio after lifting.
Reason: start with lifting so you can focus on proper form so as not to injure yourself. 
End your session with cardio so you are already in the fat burning state, maximizing your calories and fat burned.

Answer

Either! I think it’s all about preference! I’ve read that at the end of a lifting session, cardio can help deplete your store’s and really rev the metabolism for the rest of the day or so 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

I do cardio first, I notice that I stay sweaty longer and it feels like a better workout. I also notice that when I lift weights first I don't have the energy to do as much cardio

Answer

I’ve read that it’s best done on a separate day or after weight lifting. You still need to warm up before the weights though.
