Do you really burn more fat?

If you are like me .. you have heard... the following

Do your cardio first then weights.
Do your weights first then cardio
Don't do cardio on the same days as weights.....

and on and on and on and on.........

It if very confusing.. But here is one thing you can take to the bank when it comes to cardio and weights...

There is a fat loss myth that suggests that the stored carbs your body uses for the fuel for your workout is depleted in your resistance training workout. and in its absence, your body is forced to burn fat.

In reality, even the most challenging weight training workout won't deplete more than 70% of your glycogen stores and that's only within those muscles that you worked out with that day.

The whole purpose of doing cardio after your weights, is that cardio can be, especially if you are doing what I advocate (hi intensity interval training), very fatiguing

So do your weights first so you can get maximum resistance training results.

So... If you do plan on doing a combination workout, then make it weights first and cardio after....
