Where Do I Do Cardio?
As you can see, there is little time for cardio. The way I see it, treadmills are stupid. VERY stupid. But if
you hit a stick point as described earlier and are looking to increase your caloric burn, I recommend one
or more things:
1. PWO or Cardio Apart from Weight Training on Training Days. This cardio will be low intensity,
steady state (LISS). Do it on either an Elliptical, Stepmill or a Arc Trainer. Treadmill can be used,
but the other methods are preferred.
a. PWO for as long of a duration as your diet calls for as far as cardio is concerned. Take
your EthiTech Yohimbine HCl 15 minutes prior to starting cardio. You can either do it in
the morning when if you train in the evening or in the evening if you train in the
morning.
2. HIIT Cardio on off days (explained below)
I REALLY recommend HIIT on your off days if trying to burn fat. Here is why….
HIIT Cardio, WHY?
Do you grocery shop? Ever walk around Wal Mart? I bet you haul ass with the cart full of diapers and
Diet Soda. Well, have you ever asked yourself what the difference is between that and slow to moderate
walking on a treadmill? Other than the fact that you at least get to internally laugh at people at Wal
Mart, it isn’t different at all! That is why we will choose a cardio method that elicits the same hormonal
response as weight training, HIIT!
As Coach Dave Andrews at the University of Illinois stated one afternoon to me in the weight room at
the University of Cincinnati, Low Intensity Cardio is COUNTERPRODUCTIVE to what we are trying to
achieve which is building lean mass and losing fat! LISS essentially trains your slow twitch muscles to
take over, hindering lean mass when overdone! Thus, I recommend the following cardio program on the
above listed HIIT days:
