Cardio/post workout drink in the morning

noirutla Posts: 92 Joined: 2003/01/15	2003/05/12, 02:18 PM I do cardio in the morning before work, but I lift after work. Should I drink a post WO drink after cardio too , as well as after lifting? If my thinking is correct , I think I should. I just started cardio in mornings...

A very effective strategy in preventing any muscle breakdown, while revving up your metabolism.

It is both aerobic and anerobic, so cortisol production must be staved off. -------------- As far as genetics go, the skies the limit. You are limited only by your mental perception of it. Ron

If I am doing my cardio first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, is it good, or bad to have a protein shake (soy milk base w/ fresh fruit) after? This would then be my first meal of the day. I go to the gym in the late afternoon, so have dinner shortly after which covers my protein for post workout, I think.
