    Lifting before cardio for weight loss?

    Hi everyone,

    Is it best to lift before a cardio workout or after? And why?

    Cheers!

    Hmmmmm..... seems noone has responded, so I have come to the conclusion that one or both of the following are true:


    1) It's complete crap and it doesn't matter which comes first, cardio or weights

    or

    2) Noone gives a sh** ! LOL

    resistance training takes precedence over cardio for weight loss. always train with weights first.

    I either alternate days ( mon-legs, tues-cardio,wed-back/biceps,thurs-cardio,fri-chest/triceps,sat-cardio,sun-off)
    Or if you have to do both in the same day, Definitely weight train first. Cardio exhausts your body and muscles so you wont have the best results out of your weight training workout. Good luck!!

    OK, guys. And thanks for the responses.


    I used to do cardio on different days than weights, but I have recently switched things around (for no apparent reason!) and begun to do do cardio and weights on the same day.

    In retrospect, it may be wiser to do weights one day and then cardio another so that I can train intensely on each.

    Which do you guys think is best?
