And I quote from the book of BB1FIT..."Too much cardio (longer in duration)can actually teach your body to store fat in some places. See, the body as I have mentioned is programmed for survival and does not care you want to burn fat. So, it gets to a point, and says, uh uh, I know what you are doing and will "learn" to store fat in anticapation of the next cardio session. so this is where you need to "fool" your body. Change it up, do HIIT one time, standard cardio another. On standard do a max of 25 min. It is actually best to cardio on off days from weights, will help you recover better on weight training days for building lean mass. At the very least, try to separate the two by 6-8 hours if possible. If you must do it after weight training, make very sure you have your protein drink immediately as you will be in a very catabolic state. (actually eating the muscle you are working so hard to try to build), and this will actually take you backwards because you are burning up your fat burning furnace, muscle."................Hope this helps...helped me!
