Description: FAQ: Tips For Combining Lifting & Cardio

It is possible to add cardio into your training without it interfering with your lifting. Here are three tips to help maximize your gains!

#1 - Try to separate cardio and lifting by at least 6 hours (If you cannot separate them, then lift first)

#2 - Use different cardio modalities. Try to avoid doing the same cardio repeatedly. Mix it up and add cycling, swimming, and rowing! Avoid doing too much running if possible. Running has a strong eccentric component and can cause more muscle damage than something like biking for example.

#3 - Make sure you are fueling your workouts! Try to avoid training fasted to prevent muscle catabolism. If you do train first thing in the morning and cannot stomach food, try sipping some EAAs and/or some carbs like juice/coconut water/carb supplement etc during your workouts (I use PEScience EAAs - code Sarah15) or make sure you get in some fast digesting carbs and protein immediately after training.
