Right now, my routine looks like this:

I am doing 15 minutes of cardio (excercise bike) at the beginning of my workout and 15 minutes of cardio (excercise) at the end as well.
I have read a couple of posts where post-workout cardio was frowned upon because of catabolization. Didn't quite follow that. I also understand that if you are bulking cardio should be kept at a minimum. I'm not at the stage where I am doing bulking and cutting phases yet.
My workouts are taking me between 1 - 1 1/2 hours now. I am thinking of putting an end to my post-workout cardio, and just sticking to 15 or 20 minutes on the bike at the beggining. This would get me out of the gym and drinking my post-workout shake that much quicker. I want to give my heart a good workout too, but I don't want to inadvertently minimize the muscle-building that's going on.
Any thoughts?
