|  Time of day for cardio Now that Im back in school (Senior in high school) Im not longer able to run in the mornings. Now Im wondering if doing cardio at a different time in the day would really be worth it. Im sure it has some benefits, but I also play hockey About 4 times a week. This is my routine, weights and cardio. Sunday 60 Practice, mostly full speed Monday Incline Bench Flat Bench Incline Bench Machine Chest Fly Machines Chest Flys (the last 3 vary, I sometimes wont do all them) Some little ab work Curls Tuesday Work (I host at a resturaunt so Im kind of always moving) Wednesday Squats Leg Press Leg Extension Calves Ab work Hour Practice (again mostly full speed) Thursday Work (same of Tuesday) Friday Combination of both upper and lower body exercises Hour and half game (Full speed) Saturday Hour and half game (Full speed) All weight lifting is done 5x5 with some slightly modified versions of it sometimes thrown in. Im not really on a certain system. So pretty much the question is some treadmill HIIT worth it. I most likely will be able to run on days I work. I do 10 minutes on the bike at the gym sometimes as well. Im at that point where the last bit of fat just wont come off no matter what I do. Some stats 5'7'' 195lbs 17 years old. |

HIIT of course isn't going to hurt but you need some time to recover and your schedule seems fairly full already. If you still want to burn a few extra calories maybe some light treadmill work before/after your workouts would help out. That way your not overtraining from it and its just a little extra time in the gym anyhow. |
