Thread: PWO shake when doing weight/cardio?

Why not do your cardio at a different time?

In the grand scheme of things it is not going to make a huge amount of difference to you - just as long as your workouts are correctly fuelled beforehand and you immediately have a PWO shake after...

But for optimal results you could have a small protein/carb drink (more carbs than protein) that you sip during the last bit of your weights workout and just prior to your cardio and then have a smaller than normal (but still significant) PWO shake afterwards.

Why not have half before the cardio and half after the cardio?

Well if I do cardio on my off days, what type of PWO shake should I have after 30 minutes worth of jogging or riding the stationary bike?
Also, I'd be eating a meal 1-1.5 hrs. after my PWO if that makes a difference.
