Which Exercise should I do First?
I’m often asked the question “which should I do first aerobic or anaerobic exercise?”
Personally if I’m trying to reduce fat stores I always perform anaerobic
exercise before aerobics, in other words weights before a cardio workout. I
believe this to be crucial if consuming an average to high carb
(carbohydrate) intake. The
reason is simple physiology; weights will always require carbs to supply
virtually all the energy needs. A possible exception would be if weights were
performed continuously and at very low intensity, although this would become aerobic
movements
which wouldn’t do much to boost the metabolism anyway!
Exercising aerobically first would probably waste the majority of carbohydrate stores
in the muscle. If
the diet is replenishing glycogen (carb) stores as in a normal carb intake,
then I run the risk of using these supplies even when exercising
aerobically, after all, carbs are the preferred fuel for working muscle
cells. However, if weights are performed first then the majority of the
glycogen levels are used up, this forces the cells to utilize more fat to
fuel aerobics. In fact it doesn’t do it this way, it’s more of a case that
I’m tired from the weights therefore I tend to exercise with a much lower
intensity and this is what allows the body to move into fat burning mode. In
other words, I just haven’t got that enthusiastic way about me when
exercising after doing weights so I have to exercise at lower levels. You
know when you’re first starting a workout and energy levels are sharp and
positive, well this can sometimes work against fat burning.
