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

shape. But what they do most of the day is sort towels.

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.

It was usually .5 to 1 mile

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.

Depends on what I'm watching on Netflix

Been lifting for 10+ yrs. Every year it get's lower and has been 0 for the last

1/21/20 2:13pm

My PT said results from lifting are better if you do cardio first.

Genghis Spreads

1/21/20 2:32pm

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

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.
