Bodybuilding Questions - Cardio At Night Before Bed

Bodybuilding Question:
Would I achieve the same level of progress if I were to do 1 hour of cardio late in the evening between 9-10 pm before going to bed and have my last meal before 7 pm? Does it matter what time of the day cardio exercise should be done? Also, do you think I can shrink my spare tire around my waist with an aggressive running schedule of 6 days a week for an hour each session?

Bodybuilding Answer:
Night cardio on an empty stomach with no food intake after can also be a great way to drop fat. I recommend trying both and see which one works best for you. I have also tried night and early morning cardio and my body seems to drop fat faster on the morning version. Best thing to do is test and retest to find the right program that produces the best results.

A running schedule of 6 days a week for an hour each session will absolutely provide great results in decreasing your waistline and overall body fat. However, running for 1 hour each session is not exactly easy. If you can handle it, more power to you since its probably the #1 cardio exercise for shedding weight (other than jumping rope). Even if you do 30 minutes of jogging 6 times a week, you should see very good results. Just make sure not to go to intense for too long and burn out too quick. Mix up cardio and keep it fun. Maybe 1-2 days of running, then 1-2 days of jumping rope and a few days of basketball, etc. The key is to keep it interesting so you can do it day in and day out.
