Should I be doing fasted cardio?
Fasted cardio does allow you to burn fat a little bit faster.
However, that’s not quite the full story. It’s almost like driving your car when the gas tank is already low and then getting gas versus getting gas and then driving for a longer period of time.
When we train fasted in the morning, we have less glycogen stores to get through and this allows easier access to body fat to be burned for energy.
If we’ve eaten a few meals and then perform cardio later in the day our body will start going for the glycogen stores first.
At the end of the day calories and versus calories out will be the largest determining factor regardless of cardio timing.
If you're a woman and you're already training a lot of days per week, fasted cardio might cause your cortisol levels to rise.
I feel in a contest prep scenario or with a certain client, if it fits their schedule better, fasted cardio might be great.
So fasted cardio really just depends upon the individual.
If you are doing fasted cardio, I highly recommend that you use Yohimbine HCL.
Yohimbine allows you to burn more fat while you're doing fasted cardio, and it only works in a fasted state.
I've answered nine other questions just like this on my YouTube channel.
I have clients asking these questions all the time. You can check it out here to learn more.
