Tip: ALWAYS do your weight training BEFORE your cardio/intervals!

Here's a cool tip from Shaun Hadsall, Body Transformation Expert, Fat Loss Coach and Body For Life Grand Champion 1st Runner-Up 1998.

"NEVER perform intervals and/or cardio before weights...ALWAYS do it after."

So here's the science. If you do your cardio first, you may deplete all the glycogen in your muscles before lifting, which is energy you need to lift weights. So the likelihood of you breaking down and burning muscle tissue are higher and your performance will suffer meaning less progress. It's better to use your stored energy to hit the weights as hard as you can FIRST. Then you get a really challenging workout that yields RESULTS. Then by the time you do your cardio, your body is depleted of glycogen and is more likely to rush over to your fat stores to fuel the cardio portion of your workout. :)
