Love yourself enough to go after your goal physique.
In many cases this may mean doing the exact opposite of what you think you need to do.
Swipe for reminders answering some of your questions the past couple days.
Losing weight will neither make you a stronger, healthier, more acceptable human nor a happier person.
To answer your questions of “Should I do cardio before or after weights?” and “How do I train for better performance for my competition or race AND lose body fat?”
If your goal is to BUILD muscle, strength & have better performance, we want to be doing resistance training when we have our best ability to perform well & that means eating like it too.
That means your cardio session before lifting or constant worrying about burning more calories is the exact OPPOSITE of your goal of better performance, building muscle, & getting stronger.
You don’t want to deplete your energy systems by doing excess cardio before lifting if your goal is to get strong, perform well, & lift as efficiently as you can.
Building muscle & getting stronger are hard af. Why would you want to purposely make it more difficult?
Also, losing body fat & building muscle are 2 different goals. Commit to one, eat & train like you mean it.
So take away…
Love yourself enough to do the things you need to do to optimally crush your goals. Be clear on your goal & execute.
