Can a person undo cardio work by lifting weights during the same workout?
Question by wyldflwr34: Can a person undo cardio work by lifting weights during the same workout?
I’ve heard it said that a person can undo the good they are doing by a good cardio work out – if they go after that and lift weights…in the same time period. Is that true?

No and yes. You can’t undo the fat loss since weights also make you lose fat
However, cardio deteriorates muscles and weights increase them which negates muscle loss and growth so you’ll stay the same muscle wise that is. Yes you’ll lose fat still

No. That is false. In fact, lifting weights after cardio will help you lose more weight! As long as you keep your heart beating quickly after you finish, you can extent your run artificially by almost 15-30 minutes.
NO, infact running for 10-15 minutes before lifting warms up your muscles for a more intense workout, and will definatly get the blood flowing to the muscles making you more vascular if thats what you want to achieve and defintion.
Also running after lifting weights gets the chemicals produced by your muscles away so it helps to run after lifting weights.
NO! Combining cardio and weights is a super fat burner… remember with the weights dont go too heavy and concentrate on reps and form….
Super fat burner…
Yes,
I lost 36 pounds in 3months by doing 10 min. cardio to warm up, then weight/circuit training, lastly ending with 30 of cardio. Always do cardio AFTER weights because you will burn more calories and build endurance.
Also eat lots of protein, drink plenty of water, and eat a healthy diet.
No. One doesn’t hurt the other.
