How many minutes is your cardio warmup before you lift?

Zero. My warmup is going lighter on my first set for more reps.

Cardio is my workout

I used to do 20+ min. Ive cut that down to 5 to 10 and just lifted more.

1/21/20 1:12pm

I hit snooze 4 times, so I think 36 minutes.

I begin each day's lift by reviewing yesterday's session

Depends on how early I manage to get to the gym.

1 hour and then lift for 20-30 minutes

1/21/20 1:36pm

Interesting. Goal is endurance and not muscle gain/weight loss? Of course, it

I set the stop watch and just jump rope for a full hour 6 days a week. It keeps the weigh off and I maintain good

1/21/20 1:45pm

Wow. That's a lot of jumping. Not sure my joints would love that routine.

When done correctly it should be relatively low impact. Your ankles should absorb most of the shock

1/21/20 1:54pm

I do a warmup set, lift, then I do cardio. I never do cardio before lifting.

What does that even mean? Are they thinking your endurance is improved? Id argue cardio before lifting just makes

1/21/20 2:42pm

I actually don't know. I just defer to authority.

sorry to say - a PT isn't some kind of performance expert. They just know how

personal trainer, not physical therapist

Genghis Spreads

1/21/20 3:28pm

oh, those guys even have less formal training. Some are even pretty out of shape

Mayor of Cougartown

1/21/20 3:42pm

At my gym they're mostly exercise science majors, and they're all in great

Genghis Spreads

1/21/20 3:46pm

Well that’s a plus. Personal trainers that aren’t in good shape need to get a different job.

1/21/20 3:50pm

park at the back of the parking lot and jog in... RTG!!

Mayor of Cougartown

1/21/20 3:22pm

5 minutes of warmup cardio, followed by about 5-10 minutes of dynamic stretching.

1/21/20 4:14pm

None. Just stretch for 5-8 minutes before.

I sit in the sauna for five mins. Then I'm good.
