I can't remember where, but I once read that cardio should be done on an empty stomach to make the body use fat reserves for fuel during the exercise.
on my 'rest' days, I intend to do 12 minutes of interval training followed by 10-15 minutes incline walking on the treadmill. From what I've read, the fat loss benifit from HIIT is due to the fact that it raises metabolism for several hours after the exercise, not because of fat burning during the exercise.
what are people's recommendations for pre-cardio workout nutrition. what about after the workout? what should I be eating/drinking and how much?
thanks for any input
