Weight Training Questions - Is Morning Fasted Cardio Better

Weight Training Question:
Is it better to do cardio in the morning on a empty stomach to burn fat or in the afternoon a few hours later after I eat breakfast? Which cardio exercise is the best to burn fat?

Weight Training Answer:
One of the best tricks is to do cardio in the morning before eating any food and make sure to do at least 30 minutes of exercise where you actually sweat (jogging, jumping rope, etc.). Remember, you have fasted for the past 6-9 hours during sleep, so when you wake up you can tap directly into your fat stores. If you do cardio after eating, you will need to burn up the carbs (glycogen) for at least 20 minutes before tapping into the fat.
