I would do 20min with a 5min wrm up/cool down, 3-4 times a week.

If possible, try to get your cardio done first thing in the AM. Empty stomach and 20-30 mins of cardio, assuming you are at the ideal Heart Rate during that time, you will shed the BF% quickly.

thanks for the help but i cant fit cardio in first thing because i have a early job.

IF YOU CAN'T DO CARDIO IN THE AM THE NEXT BEST TIME TO DO IT WOULD BE RIGHT AFTER YOUR WEIGHT SESSION, THIS WAY YOUR MUSCLES WILL BE DEPLETED OF GLYCOGEN. RIGHT BEFORE YOU START YOUR CARDIO TAKE SOME ALA PILLS AND AS SOON AS YOUR DONE SLAM THE CARB/PROTEIN SHAKE. IF YOUR DOING CARDIO ON A DAY WITHOUT WEIGHTS THAN JUST GO FOR THE PROTEIN SHAKE. MAKE SURE AND TAKE SOME GLUTAMINE AND AMINO ACIDS BEFORE YOUR WEIGHT TRAINING WORKOUT.YOUR DIET IS REAL IMPORTANT TOO, WHAT ARE YOU FOLLOWING?

1500-2000 IMO.

some people take 500mg per carb meal while others go for 1gram per carb meal.if i'm on strictly no carbs except post workout, than i'll take 1gram 20 min before i down the shake. other wise i take 500 mg before every meal that has some carbs in it

[little daddy]

thanks that helps a TON.

if you are trying to hit ketosis, i woudl recommend saving your ala for your carb-up days, i think ala prevents you from hitting ketosis

ALA helps doesnt hurt at all it has been helping me ALOT!THANKS

ideally you want to seperate cardio and lifting as much as possible. if you are going to do cardio after lifting, then after you finish lifting drink say 1/3 your shake and take an extra 5g glutamine, then as soon as you finish cardio down the rest of the shake.

THANKS!!!

cardio on an empty stomach works best for me. I do 45-50min when trying to cut.

[little daddy]

how many days a week morning cardio during cutting?
