Open Question: How much cardio can you mix with weight training in a single session?
I’m about 20 pounds overweight. Do I really need to worry about “overtraining” or spacing out cardio and weightlifting? It seems like there is plenty of stored energy for my body to use.
I was trying to figure out if I should lift before or after cardio (roughly 50 minutes in my ‘cardio zone’ according to a treadmill with a palm grip heart monitor).
A lot of advice I’ve read seems to warn of overtraining - as if your muscle all of sudden starts getting eaten away if you do to much in a workout session. I always figured that the body would turn to muscle for energy as an absolute last resort, am I missing something?
