Should I do cardio before or after lifting? How can I lose fat and gain muscle? Things you may not want to hear…

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.⁣
