    I would do weights first. If you do cardio first, you’ll won’t be able to push it as hard with the weights because of all the energy you expended with cardio.

    i read that you should do cardio then weights as cardio can burn muscle so you want to build up muscle after

    son’t know if it’s true tho

    id place it in priorty.. as to what u want to do more… fat burning or muscle building.. to burn fat u need 40 mins of cardio… the first 20 mins u only burn carbs..

    weight lifting you only need 30 – 40 mins for a intense weight lifting workout…
    and in terms of burning muscle after your workout… its not going to happen in 40 mins of cardio providing u have some fat storage to burn as this is burnt first…. though its up to u what u want to do first

    and dont forget weight loss building is also dependant on a good diet.. so eat more proteins.. and less carbs.. eat well..

    Its much better to do weights first. The reason is while exercising, your body uses the glycogen stores(carbs) first then when it is depleted, your body will switch to using fat and burning it. So, if you do weights first, your glycogen stores will be used up and your body will have to switch to fats. So when you do cardio after that, all your burning is fat as the carb supply has been used up already. Hope it makes sense. Good luck.

    here’s the way to find out the answer…

    Go out one day, and do just your cardio. Look at how far you go (if you are running, for example), and how long you can go, timewise.

    The next day, go out and do your weightlifting. Make sure you write down how your workout went.

    Then, go out and do your weightlifting, followed by your cardio. You’ll probably find that your cardio will be a little less.

    The next day, do your cardio, and then your weightlifiting. You’ll probably find that your weightlifting is less..significantly.

    The reason is that when you go out and do your cardio, you are using up a good bit of energy. Then you try to do your weightlifting, and your energy is sapped, so your weight training suffers.

    If you do your weight training first, you burn your first tier energy sources, which are used for short intense activity…then, you do your cardio, you still have your long term energy sources remaining.

    Does not matter but most people are out of breath after Cardio, so do the weight first. But do try out both ways and see what fits you best and gives you most results, other thing being the same.

    Picking the method that always works. Slow and steady wins the race, haste is waste and it shows up on the waist and some more. So start very slowly and then as you build up the strength and the stamina do little more every few days add intensity and work out routine, both every few days.

    You must eat every things that you like, must include all food groups but count total calories per day. Must eat minimum required calorie per day according to a program or in this link, listed below, must be active or work out or exercise or just go for a walk , then after a while start to run.

    Do what you can do and not worry about what you cannot do for now. Must enjoy what you are doing.
