FAST CARDIO VS FED STATE CARDIO
Which is the best?
Which one is going to help you get CRUSHED?
Well the answer is not so black and white.
In fact, it is best explained in a study by Alan Aragon and Brad Schoenfeld.
“It has long been thought that aerobic exercise after an overnight fast accelerates the loss of body fat. The purpose of this study was to investigate changes in fat mass and fat-free mass after four weeks of aerobic exercise in fasting compared to the equivalent volume in young women on a low calorie / caloric deficit diet.
The results indicate that the changes in body composition associated with aerobic exercise in conjunction with a calorie deficit are similar regardless of whether an individual is fasting prior to training or not. Therefore, those looking to lose body fat can possibly choose to train before or after eating according to their preferences. “
Hmm …
So what’s the point to take home?
Do what you prefer.
Yes, personal preference.
Personally, I find my performance to be terrible without eating, so I choose to do any activity in an eating state.
That’s what works for me so I stick with it.
My energy is higher and I have the ability to burn more calories as a result.
That is why you must find what works for you.
Because we are all different.
We all have different likes and dislikes.
As such, it is natural to have different preferences when it comes to choosing what we eat, if at all, before training.
THE GOOD NEWS
It’s that science is on your side in this case, so make sure your routine works for you, and you’re done with it.
No need to prolong the process anymore – cardio is painful enough without worrying about whether or not you should eat before pushing yourself into the stair master.
Just kidding, I don’t do the stair master, but YOU might like it, so if that’s your cardio of choice, step on the good sir / madam!
Remember …
DO NOT confuse correlation with causality.
You won’t lose weight simply by doing or including cardio in your routine; you will lose that weight because over the course of a day / week / month you are eating fewer calories than you are burning, and what you are doing might just be helping with this equation.
You don’t need to overcomplicate the weight loss process.
But if there is a certain method or approach that helps you with energy balance (calories going in vs. calories going out), then you need to execute it.
Because energy balance is KING, at the end of the day.
(Literally)
Adherence to the diet is the key to long-term success.
SO FIND OUT WHAT WORKS BEST FOR YOU WHILE SERVING YOUR KING.
