Morning everyone

Out this morning getting my fasted cardio in and I’ll be honest… since getting back from Mexico it’s been a bit hit and miss. But that’s life, we reset and go again 👊

A question I get a lot is… when is actually the best time to do cardio?

Truth is, there isn’t a “perfect” time. It depends more on what you can stay consistent with rather than chasing the “optimal” setup.

Fasted cardio (first thing in the morning before food) is great for routine. It gets it done early, clears your head, and sets the tone for the day. Some people feel it helps with fat loss, but in reality the difference is minimal compared to your overall daily calories. The biggest win here is discipline and consistency.

Post-workout cardio is also a solid option. You’re already in the gym, body is warm, and it can help you push a bit harder or just tick it off without needing another session later.

You can even split it up across the day with steps, walks, or shorter sessions. It all counts.

The key thing to understand is this… fat loss comes from being in a calorie deficit over time. Cardio is just a tool to help create that deficit.

So instead of worrying about the “best” time, focus on this:

what time can you realistically stick to week in, week out?

That’s your best time.

Get it done when you can, stay consistent, and the results will follow 👊
